Someone asked for pics so here they are.
Mitubishi Evo 8 Calipers and S8 rotors on a 90 quattro

Interesting. What's the advantage of these over the typical Porsche BBK?

 

[kveldssanger]

^ Cheaper and more readily available calipers?

 

[Dan McBoost]

very nice. So the bracket is completely flush on the mounting side?

whats the bolt spacing of the evo caliper mounting bolts? also, how do you get around the evo having 32mm thick rotors?

you get around it by using 323x30 S8 rotors, just like Porsche calipers are for 32mm too...

Depends on the Porsche calipers. 996 calipers are for 28mm rotors.

Don't know the size of the 996 turbo rotors. Never had those calipers in my hands.

996 Turbo rotors are 32mm thick from memory. Non-turbo/non-S 996 and most 986 calipers are meant for the 28mm thick rotors.

You can also run aftermarket rotors with custom hats as well. BTDT.

I have this set up for my CQ, would rather use them than a Porsche set up, after all its from a highly developed 4wd front engined car not a mid or rear engined car, so will be much better balanced.

However this particular set up looks lethal to me, how much material is on that bracket around the bolt that bolts to the upper mount on the hub? Looks like only a few mm of material which is nowhere near enough consider what's going on there!!!

:lol: RS2 is not "a highly developed 4wd front engined car". Came with Porsche set up.

I know it did, pretty unlikey they are the same as used on a 911 or boxster though, both of which ive seen on CQ, all I was doing was agreeing with the OP choice of brakes, just dont want to see him hurt himself by relying on 2mm of plate!
