Hello,

anyone of you ever upgraded the brake of an orginal 16 " Syncro to G60 / Audi S2?

Thanks

I'm trying to order the correct parts but find the part numbers so far to be confusing.

Can anyone tell me if the following are correct:
Rotor: 447615301 (usually has a B suffix)
Pads: 441698151 (commonly with an E or F suffix)

Can anyone who's recently bought these somewhere provide a link? I think the following is correct but would hate to pay for return shipping on rotors. Thanks!

- Kevin

Saturday night bump from the dead Twisted Evil

Just picked up a load of parts to do this on my Syncro. What’s not clear to me, without taking the whole thing apart:

Where do the new hole centers on the caliper carriers for the m16 bolts exist? Are they directly inboard? A bit downward? I’m using 5000 vented discs.

Thanks!

Just measure the spacing between the holes on your stock calipers and make the holes on the G60 carriers match.
I just did this last month using a 2 fluted 21/32'' End mill and the hardware suggested on the website.
I've run these brakes on 3 syncros now, and i love them.
