Ah you know what you're right.  The UrS Porchse 993 upgrade requires use of
the RS2 caliper brackets...so off the bat that is changing already.

I agree with this 100%:  " The calipers are bound to work SOMEWAY, its just
a matter of
how."


Thanks everyone, I guess that's something I'll be able to tackle when the
time comes.

Brandon, I think his primary goal is wanting to know if the BBK kit will
transfer straight over.

I cant answer with assurance But I'm going to guess NO.  Here is why.

If on an ur-q, to do G-60's you would use the 5ktq Rotor then that means the
S4 Rotor with its larger "Deeper" tophat offset would not work.  IE....
Rotor face would be to far to the inside of the car.

So if the kit your buying is designed for an S-car.  Then would assume if
you bolted it onto your urq then the rotor would also sit to far inside
because of the different hubs.

If memory serves the difference between an ur-s hub and 5ktq hub is 6mm per
side.  I could be wrong on that.  If that's true then assuming the rotor
didn't hit the strut housing or ball joint you would need a different
bracket for the Caliper to move it 6mm inwards.

OR.... A different rotor with 6mm less offset.

I'm just basing this on what I know about S4 vs 5ktq/urq front ends.  I am
not familiar with the BBK kit for S4 so I"m not sure.

Good luck.  The calipers are bound to work SOMEWAY, its just a matter of
how.
