Been searching on big(er) brake options are BIRA and ECS still the preferred kit options?

The real answer is "no".
They work on the B3 chassis. Guys in the 80/90 forum do make them go (in the trailing position) with RS2 brackets.
The problem is, *it doesn't work with our struts*.
Rob (quattro.pilot) has run 996TT calipers on his UrS before. He swapped for 928GTS.
The plain fact is that using the monoblocs with RS2 brackets is a hack job, at best. There's a reason BIRA went with custom brackets, after all. The cost savings is based on used parts, which may or may not work for everyone.
In the end, do the monoblocs deliver better anything? I can say yes in only one condition: $300 saved, with used parts as the basis.
Is it worth it? :shrug:

Not "may be". Just plain "are".
Of course, reading your stuff in the B3 forum proves that out.
The fact that I'm *right* galls the hell out of you, I know.
Why don't you grab a big, ol' mug of STFU until you know what the hell you're talking about, mmmkay?
