[s-cars] Cracked Big Brake Brackets - ECS Stage 2

[Sean Douglas]

Taka:

 

I'm not sure, but I think the US-spec S8 got both the 323 and 345 rotors
depending on the year.

 

To get the right rotor, just spec the part number for the 323x30 (4D0 615
301 A or J).

Sean-
Are you sure that your numbers are correct? IIRC, the RS2 bracket runs on
323x30mm
rotors, but these are off of a '00+ post facelift us-spec A8 and/or A8L,
safe bet is to spec
A8L to make sure you have the right one. 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the US-spec S8 ran 340 or 345mm
rotors?

The ECS kit uses the 314x30 rotors that are from the early European A8. 

The RS2 bracket works with 323x30 rotors that are from the US-spec S8
(facelift). The rotor is not perfectly centered and is off by 1 mm. The
reason for this is that the RS2 used 32 mm thick rotors.

The RS2 bracket will also work with a BIRA hat and 993tt rotor ring 
(323x32).
