I thought I should make a small update on the current brake situation. During the autumn I painted the calipers even though I don't know if I will keep them or not. They're probably easier to sell if there's paint on them anyways. I have also passed on two more sets of caliper brackets to friends in Canada and Norway that share my fetish for big brakes. =)
The front brake situation is not yet resolved and it's a bigger mess then I've ever could have dreamed of. I have been in talks with Brembo and they say that they don't manufacture the discs used with these calipers and that they only manufactured the calipers in this particular setup. So both the 380mm Cayenne discs and the ceramic discs on Audi are manufactured by someone else which means I can't find the blueprints of them. =/ I have gone through all Brembos catalogues and they have nothing that fits. =( One option would be to buy the 380mm Cayenne discs from Porsche and have custom centers manufactured. Another option would be to buy the 8 pot RS4/RS6/R8 calipers again and use those with the 380mm MTM-discs I already have. A third option would be to buy the Audi RS6 C6 390mm setup and hope that it can be massaged to fit on an S2... In other words, it's a mess at the moment and I have no idea what to do, regular 'irry' in other words...
