Question about 6 pot brakes

Post by gipsy73 » Tue Sep 16, 2008 4:48 pm

Hi all,
I have a 2000 B5 RS4 with standard rims and I might upgrame my brakes. I found a pair of 6 pot Porsche GT3 calipers and would like to know from you if I can put them with the standard 18" rims.

Comments will be appreciated.

Yes.
Rs4 b7 brakes (365x34 with 8pots calipers) fit onto the std 18" rims. So the GT3 calipers+stock discs will certainly fit.

hi gipsy, i have the cayanne 6 pot brembos on my car with std discs. they are a bolt on straight fit but you need to get the discs turned down from 360 to 350 mm in diameter to fit correctly. then if youwant to be really anal about the alignment mill the top caliper mounting hole about 3mm which will let youpull the caliper out at the top and the pads will be spot on but if you do that dont forget to put some kind of packing peice on the other side of where its been milled or else the caliper will pop back to its original position the first time you touch the brakes with a bang. also make sure the calipers go on with the small piston at the bottom. have a look at this thread and you will see why.jim http://www.rs246.com/index.php?name=PNp ... ght=brembo
