On my turbocharge Vw corrad i adapted the front Brembo calipers
fitted to the Lancia delta integrale evo-1,here in Rome 1 CANNOT change the original diameter of wheel which,in my case is 15inch so i could only use the O/E 286mm corrado disks.
The difference in braking compared to the old corrado single piston jobbies and the deltas is night and day.
Also worth noting is the evoluzione delta's Brembos are made of aluminium
unlike fiat coupe 20vt,Mercedes 230 slk,porsche ect that are cast iron 4 pots...

Give Martoon at Reyland a bell. I'm pretty sure you'd need the CP5200 4 pot caliper and a 285mm disc. If you go for a solid disc or disc and bell, either way Martin can make some bespoke brackets to fit the lot together.

Martin should be fine to do it. I used a firm called BG developments in Bromsgrove, worcs, to build me a 315mm AP 4 pot kit for my S2. They needed a hub, suspension leg and a wheel and they made the kit to suit. That used CP5200 calipers as well.

Worth the money though fella!

As a rough guide my 315mm kit was about £1200. That was back in 2001!

But, it was the most cost effective mod i ever did on my s2.
