[s-cars] Factory Brake Options

Sure Chris.

up front, if you want to spend all the money (and then some) for less
performance, go with the S6+ setup. Very pricey (requires a strut swap)
as it requires ancillary parts, much labor, an alignment, etc.

In the rear, you can go with a custom bracket to space your caliper out
and some larger audi rotor (may require cutting down).

You can try an RS4 or RS6 front rotor, but you'll need a custom caliper
with this (may I suggest the 6 piston brembo monobloc from the Gt2? I
have a set of these and they are sublime).

I am convinced that the RS4 or 6 rear brake setup is not feasible for
the UrS cars. The rotor offsets are way too far off.

BTW, Audi (and hence VAG) didn't have a problem with using Porsche
brakes on the RS2, should you?

Given this, your best bet would be to go with one of the Audi rotor
front kit options. Either Euro A8 at 314x30, or S6+/ old S8 at 323x30.
Mate it to to a Porsche caliper, either Big Black, or Carrera Mononbloc
(paint them to get rid of the Porsche script).

In the rear it remains to be determined if the RS2 rear carrier will
work and allow use of the 993tt rear caliper and rotors. But, this is
the best candidate at this point.
