      Apikol has good one for $239.00 for Audis. Make sure you order the right ones.
      Upgrade your Audi's brakes with our economical kit to bolt Porsche BoxsterS rear calipers over OEM Audi rotors for improved performance. Off-road use only!

        Thank for quick replys so just done some more searching and got my answer so 323mm s8 d2 discs are to be used with seat cupra r brackets machine down. Also it said there could be some rubbing from discs once they get hot any one who has had this on the 323mm discs and caliper setup?

          I have this setup with 321 discs, not fitted just yet but will be in the next 6 weeks.

          I will be interested on how your fitting goes.

                I used RS2 carriers and did mine this way.

                These are the pieces needed for upgrading a coupe from brake system to use Porsche 996 brakes. This model caliper comes on two different cars, the Porsche 996 or the Boxster S. The 996 brakes are black and the Boxster S brakes are red. It seems that you can get these calipers in silver...
