Andrew,
I have a setup from RPI that I'm not going to use. It's a kit to adapt 993
turbo calipers and rotors to an A4. I've test-fit everything and this
kit will work great on an urq but the wheel spoke back-spacing is the
challenge. My 17" Ronal R38 ET27 (ET35 wheel with 8mm spacer) fit but my
16" urS4 5-spoke ET28 (ET40 wheel with 12mm spacer) did not. On the 16's,
outter clearence was fine by the spoke back-spacing wasn't sufficient and a
thicker spacer wasn't an option due to tire clearence at the fender.
Anyway, if you want to run 993tt brakes, this is your setup provided you can
be selective with your wheels. I paid $495 for the kit and will give you a
significant break, say $300. Brand new, never had fluid in the lines.
Includes caliper brackets, rotor hats, mounting bolts and stainless steel
lines. You'd need to source calipers, rotors, pads and fluid.
