Default 1/16" clearance, so it is ok with 16" Avus. UNLESS....

...you don't check to see where your balance weights are. MAKE SURE they will not contact the caliper before moving.

You do you know you have stage 2, right?

Default The 993tt caliper is only part of it. The rotor is the other part

Stage 2 used an Audi A8 rotor, Stage 3 uses the larger Porsche 993TT rotor with custom hat. Stage 3 is lighter and larger.

Default Thanks. I really prefer 3, and I'm on 17's now, wanted to know if I can go back to 16's

if anything happens. I kind of regret going for 17's as a first mod. Got them because I thought they would help to correct the "Allroad look" but of course it didn't work. If I had coils and shocks first, I would probably still be with the original wheels. Knowing that stage 3 fits under 16's allow me to go for it and if I ever sell or use the 17's on another car, I can allways go back to OEM. Thanks again.

Default By the way, do they still squeal? Can you tell me about the improvement in braking (3xstock)?

My stock brakes feel mushy and innadequated. I have a heavy foot and would like the brakes to bite a little bit, but mine feel like the pads are made of rubber. I noticed ABS working for the first time yesterday, after one year with the car!! Road was wet and slippery. In the dry I could never invoke ABS...
