Default Rs6 brakes on S8 1997

Hi

I have bought RS6 2003 brakes but what do i need to fit the rear brakes?
Will the RS6 brake hose and handbrake cable fit to my D2 ?

And how do i do to mount the rear brake calipers?

I have to get the brake disc about 8mm further into the hub.
But also I have to get the caliper about 3mm out to the side because the disc will not get centered if i only get the caliper further into.
Se my picture.

Should I cut the brake carrier and weld a flat iron that I drill and thread two new hole?


Or are there discs that fit directly on my car with Rs6 brake calipers without having to modify anything?

Or will the rear Rs6 brakes fit direct on D3 rear hub? and I can mount D3 rear hub on my D2?
