[s-cars] Anyone ever use 944 Turbo calipers on an S6?

[Keith Maddock]

Paul,

I don't think upgrading the rotors on the stock undersized rotors will help that much other than improve pedal feel.  The G60 is a powerful (albeit  heavy and flexible) caliper, but the rotor just too small for our heavy beasts, and you'll still have problems with stopping power on 2nd and subsequent stops.

Unless you already own the 944 calipers, I don't think the 993TT ones are that much more expensive.  I think you'll find that even these have a smaller effective piston area than the G60's (the benefit being stiffness and lightness, oh and looks too! ), so I don't know if its worth going with the smaller caliper.

BIG RED DREAMS.  I want to stop better than I can now!  I'm dreaming of
doing a brake upgrade this spring.  I've watched the threads this summer
and fall and wanted to do the GP from ECS but my budget would not let me
yet.  But I WILL be ready for this spring.  I was talking it over with
my mechanic and he suggested using 944 turbo calipers.  Anyone have any
experience with them on the S-cars?

My goal is to have better braking the stock; (so when I start doing RS2
add-ons, the car will stop!).  It's a daily driver; probably won't ever
see the track except the pits at The Glen each fall.  I do believe my
mechanic is qualified to make these recommendations as he is formerly a
Audi stealer service manager and Audi stealer master mechanic (now has
his own garage), plus he and his son both have S6s and track them.  I've
never heard of this setup before so I'm posting the question here.

944 turbo calipers and pads
stock S6 rotors

Would this be a lot better than stock?  Is it even close to ECS stage I
or II?  Am I crazy (or just cheap).

Be nice with your responses as I might not be able to stop if I ever see
you on the road.
