[s-cars] Rear brakes

[Richard Tanimura]

Is that 850 as in Volvo?

Sorry for the tardy response and the WOB because of it...

What works in the back? There are only three solutions that I know of /
that are in the works...

1) Mark S's setup that mates a stock Audi rotor (I forget which one off
the top of my head) with a spaced factory UrS rear caliper.

2) Hap's system in R&D which includes a mechanical spot parking brake
caliper and rear 993 TT calipers that have had the mounting ears
machined off and repalced with radial mounts and custom brackets (IIRC),

3) Rick Barrett's R&D which includes mating the RS2 rear caliper carrier
to the C4 rear wheel bearing carrier and 993tt reear calipers, rotors,
and internal drum brake parking brake setup.

Please note that in the case of #3 above you do not have to run Porsche
5/130 hubs as you can redrill and use an adapter to run the Porsche
rotor on the 5/112 hub.

On the 850 caliper this is news that I had gotten from Carl Jerritts way
back in the day. It was never verified, so I couldn't say for sure
(Scott J., can you opine?).

For my money, #1 is probably the easiest, and #3 the most elegant, yet
pricy. The 850 thing is 1/4 baked at best.

Folks,
what seems to work in the back of the C4 chassis to complement my front
BBB setup? I am not willing to  go the RS2 route coz I have 18 Audi
wheels in 5x112 and am not looking to get a few more in the 5x130 bolt
circle. :)
I vaguely recall somebody reporting success with the 850csi rear
calipers. Were that you, Frank?
