It is possible to space the D2 calipers out to also use the C6 S6 disc, using machined adapters, but I can't find where to buy them and they are non-trivial to make by hand. Thats still D2 calipers though, with their silly postage-stamp pads. |
Oh Joy so yet again no easy solution caused by Audi's decision to "NLA" everything that suits them 
Sounds like we need to have a forum on new solutions to upgrade D2 rear brakes! its one thing Id still like to have done to mine
