OK, Frank, let's compare the numbers.

You're right, the S8 is the 30mm rotor. Oops.

Anyway. This is what I have now:
993tt calipper + RS2 bracket (shaved 1.25mm to move the calliper closer
to the hub) + S8 rotor (30mm wide)

You are describing the following setup:
993tt caliper + RS2 bracket + 993tt ring (32mm wide) + BIRA hat

This tells me that the hat might be the proper offset. I will measure
the S8 rotor offset at the first opportunity.
