Default Ap 6pots on S2??

Hey,,

been offerd ap 6pots (330mm) discs from my old man as he going to return his Escos back to standard-ish form,,, was wondering if they would fit behind 17inch Rs-7 spokes on my S2?
any advice would be greatly appreciated

RS 7 Spokes arnt the best for clearance on big brakes, so i'm 99% sure they wont go on

You would have to get new bells and brackets i would assume from the likes of reyland,, then some comps or similar to go over them

yea mate was thinking it would be massive overkill,,was only thinking about it due to the cost of the set up and the fact i wouldve been getting it for nothing!

I run FRS Brembo's with standard 324mm discs and they are tight.

I do think you have a hope in hell of getting even the callipers behind RS7's.

ive seen 4 pot AP's on an s2 with 330mm discs, RS7s are quite hard to get huge brakes on, but seeing as your old man already has them, suppose theres no harm trying, post up if you get them to fit
