When looking at http://www.syncro.ca/tech/audibrakes.htm

It states the brakes used come from Recycled Audi 5000S / Audi 100 / Audi 200 (1988 to 1994).

When looking up the specific cars, they seem to all have single caliper brakes, the only one that looks the same, is the v8 Quattro.

Is this the correct hardware for the front brake conversion?

it's the 5000 CS/200 Turbo & Turbo Quattro models with these calipers.
some of the 200 20v & V8 models had UFO brakes that will not work.

Dual piston Girling 60s.
The caliper is still available brand new, I just bought a bunch of them.


The rebuild kits for the calipers are getting harder to find, but with a bit of work, you can source them in the States.

Calipers coming from junkyards should be rebuilt for safety, my opinion.

I gathered all of the parts for this same project but am not going to use them. But I would love to clear this out of my garage. PM if interested.
