    will these fit?

    Hi after reading through the forum on brake upgrades i have been keeping a close eye on ebay for some porsche 996 calipers and found these. Just need to know if these would fit my standard s2 if i got the a8 discs.http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...sPageName=WDVW

      they are 6 pots afaik so you would have to get custom brackets and I'm not sure the A8 discs would be wide enough.

          I'm sure you can get some brackets made up to fit, or if i was to win them then i could compare them to see how they look up against the 996 mounts from Martin. Not sure on disc size, i've asked him to e-mail me the original disc size and thickness to give me a idea of what would be needed.

          HTH,

              I was bidding on a simular set on ebay about a year ago and IIRC the guy wanted £550 to end the auction early. They were yellow 6 Pots with 350mm discs. I'm just trying to find if Audi do a disc thick enough. Might need 32mm wide. The guy hasn't got back to me on disc size yet

                There's 2 sizes of A8 discs which might be suitable, 323mm by 30mm, which is what i have and 345mm by 30mm. Alternatively there is the RS6 disc which is 365mm by 34mm. What size wheels have you got?

                    314mm with 996 monblocks and a custom bracket will fit under the standard 16" avus but it is a tight fit.

                      I dont think you will get those 6 pots under a 16" wheel, the pad will be huge and wont cover all the disk.

                        No I didn't mean with the 6 pots - just with 996 4 pots
                        Waste of time trying to get these under 16" wheels.

                              Hmm, they would need a design change over the 996 brackets me thinks.
