Default Brembo Brake question ........

I have recently been given the chance at getting the Brembo Grand Tourismo caliper and rotor kit for cheap, but I know that the 355 mm rotor that comes in the kit requires 18" wheels. I do not have the funds for new wheels and I have previously spent money on buying the 321 mm DBA 5000 slotted floating rotors.

Does anyone know if I can use the Brembo caliper from the kit with my existing DBA rotors?? (in which case I will just sell off the Brembo rotors)

Alternatively, will the 332 mm Brembo rotor and caliper combination fit inside the stock Avus wheel? (assuming that I can get the 332 mm rotor substituted)

Thanks.

Default Here is your answer you cheap ***

No, you probably cannot run the Brembo calipers with the DBA rotors. Even if you could, there is no way in hell you are going to be able to fit those under the stock wheels. The Brembo calipers are HUGE! Most 18" rims do not even clear those calipers without spacers. I can only think of a few 18" that clear those monsters. Sportec, SSR GT1s, RS4 reps. Don't even think about any BBS without spacers.

BTW, just kidding about the cheap *** comment.

Default Some of the BIRA kits with the 4 pot Brembos fit inside 17" wheels but ....

they do not specify if this will work with the stock S4 Avus wheels. So, either you a thinking of different caliper, or I still do not have my answer.

Ace wheels will most likely clear. They clear 6 piston 352mm Brembos
