Brembo from an Evo8

[jesters3]

Arvo,

My boss has upgraded his Evo8 brakes to Porsche ones; and so had his old Brembo's left over:



Just wondering if they would fit an MY2002 S3?

Looking at the specs they suit 330m diameter discs with a 30mm thickness. Looking at other posts the 'usual' S3 Brembo kit is 312mm and 28mm.

Would I get away with a 312mm set-up using these calipers? My mate with an Ibiza tried them on but they would not fit due to the width plus he would need a special bracket to hold them on.

Car is in at Storm at the moment getting the remap and some other bits done and I have asked them to have a look and let us know, but was wondering would anyone on here know?

Cheers!

I think they are similar to the calipers used for the big red kit (same as porche 911's use) so you would need a different caliper carrier (which may have to be specially made - £££'s) and different brake discs to the standard one on the S3

Thought it would be too good to be true. Cheers!

Brembo GT kit disks are 323mm, standard S3 is 312mm.

I stand corrected. Cheers Jojo

Why not have a look at some 2 piece discs using AP or AP copy 5x100 bells and a 330x 30 mil outside rotor, available off the shelf? Obviously need to get the caliper mounted but that shold be possible...?

You could probably use r32 disks and then get some one like reyland to make some brackets up for you,

They are the wrong mounting type. It'd be a NIGHTMARE to get them to come even close to fitting correctly.

Just about to say the same...
They aren't radial mount, like the Porsche callipers...so will be nigh-on impossible to make fit.
