[s-cars] BIRA question (Hap Maguire)

[Jack Walker]

Hap,

Do you know if the 993TT rotor and caliper fits under the 16" 5 spoke
wheels. Think they are they OEM S4 wheels
Think it's the same setup I bought from you like years ago.
Think I saw a guy at a Quattrofest from Seattle a couple years ago that was
running this?

I had them on my Red S6A with 18s predecessor, to my Cashmere S6A...

Hey Lee

Right after I bought Da Wintah Beatah about 6 years ago, I wanted to do a
brake upgrade. It had the TT upgrade already installed which uses the
carrier from a TT to allow mounting a larger front rotor which in my case
were ECS 312x25 as sown in the first pic. In my search I stumbled across a
local guy I knew who was selling a BIRA set up with Boxster S calipers,
brackets, 314x30 rotors and several sets of pads including Pagid Black and
Orange. I bought everything for $400 and sold the rotors for $200. I ended
up with the 2nd pic. After a couple of track days I wanted to do another
little upgrade so I went with JHM 2 piece rotors for the front sand the back
which increased my rotor size to 322x30 and 300x22. I use the same BIRA
brackets but Dave Jones just shimmed them out a little. The set up now is
very good and I've never had an overheating issue at the track. I'd love the
look of some 6 pot calipers up front and 4 pots in the back but all in all
this is a great compromise  as I still run 17" rims. Here's a link to ECS
and some upgrade options for your buddy's VW:
