Brake Question
I have sourced a set of front Porsche 997 C4S Calipers, pads, and brand new discs and adaptors to fit to the front of my S8. I wanted to know if I removed the front factory brembo brakes, would they fit onto the back of the S8?

No mate, totally different type of mounting on the rear and your rear calipers also have the park brake built in. On things like the RS2 that used Porka 4 pots on the back, they had a drum hand brake inside the disc to over come this.

 Looking forward to seeing the pics of those on and how they are mounted. Is it just a straight bolt on with the appropriate caliper mounting bracket?

Thanks Ben, I will need to speak to you more regarding brake upgrades soon. I will find anything over £600ish hard to justify but I'm fairly confident about making the Germany trip now and want a really good brake setup for the autobhans!
Clive, the guy selling them said he has some VW adaptors so they will fit. Just need to decide what to go with.

amar you are right about wanting a good brake setup for the german trip. last year on the trip was the only time that i had a problem with my standard setup. we had been driving for a good few miles at high speed when we deceided to have a play with a bmw for a few miles. we were taking it nice and steady (about 150+ mph) when i needed to slow down quickly to about 80mph my brakes just judered and had massive brake fade
 . that was the reason i changed my brake setup to what i have now.

How much did your setup cost Darren, and was there a noticeable improvement? I can fit the EBC discs myself so that will save costs on a full brake upgrade. Its interesting what you say about they work better when they are warmed up, then why do people fit the Phaeton cooling ducts?
