[s-cars] Fwd: RS2 brackets

[Igor Kessel]

They do in my car. I know nothing about the 314mm rotors.
The 323mm rotor clears the 993tt (or, in my case, the black 928gts)
calipers RADIALLY just fine. In order to centre the rotor AXIALLY in the
caliper pads' slot I had shaved 50 mils off the RS2 brackets per Frank's
old recommendation. Although they would've fit w/o this procedure, but a
perfectionist inside me took over.
