RS6 8 pot calipers onto an Audi A3 2.0 TDI quattro ?

[devonmikeyboy]

Found these on flea bay.RS6 8 piston calipers.Would they fit directly or at least be an easy brake caliper upgrade for a new Audi A3 2.0 TDI quattro ?

Don't know but are they not overkill on an A3?

Not when he'll be running it at nearly 300bhp.

probably would if you can design your own mounting brackets to fit

and obtain discs in the right offset.

I would look at something more off the shelf, unless you know how to make/design stuff

I cannot be assed if i got to make custom mounting brackets etc. I was hoping that they would be a direct fit. What about the AP calipers from my ibiza cupra would they be a direct fit or would i have to get mounting brackets made ? How hard would it be to get mounting brackets made for the AP calipers to fit the Audi since it would save me alot of money if i could get them to fit and then just buy another set of discs to fit the Audi then buy a whole new setup.

Bill will know the answer to that as he's sold a few sets IIRC. He's a bit AWOL at the mo', probably getting the car ready for the new season...

Brembos would be a fairly obvious choice though...

I did think of phoning bill but i think that this is one of his pet hate questions of "How do i get get these calipers from car A fit car B" so didnt want to bug or annoy him.

No, I mean ring about the SEAT sport AP's or the Brembos.

The RS6 calipers are a no go as they are trialing calipers. You can fit them and make them into leading but because of the differentail piston bores you will get tappered wear on the leading edge of the pads.
8 piston calipers are OTT and usually dont work that well because they need 4 pads per calliper.

Also remember when looking at Ibiza/Leon brembo kits that they will be 5 x 100 discs.
