G60 Conversion on `89 90 Quattro

[Todd Phenneger]

I do believe that the A4 uses a slightly different diameter rotor than the 90q and 5kt.  I think it is about 28?mm.  However, I suspect it would be better than the G-60 if you could get it to fit.  Lighter (more like the G-54) but a better caliper than G-54.

   Does ANYONE have some old 944t pads laying around so I can get these 944t Calipers setup to mount to the struts in question.  I'm not sure what I'll do if I'm successful but I will make the results available.

Right on, Javad, except that the 20v sedans didn't get the G60s in the
US. Euro versions had that option, apparently, which is why we can get the
funny offset 276mm 4x108mm rotor with a factory part number.

One option that I want to investigate is the possibility of mounting A4
front brake calipers and a 276mm rotor onto my 20v sedan. The A4 caliper
should bolt right up to the strut housing (same spacing) and the specs
call for a 276mm rotor on the A4q sedan. Unfortunately, there seems to be
some confusion, as Ti Kan reports that he had a 276mm rotor (5k-style) and
an A4q rotor hand in hand and the A4q rotor was more like 288mm. Weird.

Any thoughts on the A4 front caliper setup? There have GOT to be some
availble from the rich people on audiworld.com :>.
