Right,
As you've already found out the offsets for the RS/S6 setup are a bit out. Mike (Conan) tried to fit S6 rears to his and gave up. I think the front offset for RS6 discs are out as well. You may need RS/S 4 fronts. The easiest rear brake upgrade is the B7 (I think) RS4 discs and calipers. It's fairly straight forward as you only need to drill out the hubs an extra 2mm to mount the calipers and fit the handbrake cables from an A8L. Your car is a '97 so you have the steel hubs. I have a set of steel hubs pre drilled ready for the RS4 calipers. They're a bit tatty now but perfectly useable if you're interested. The other options I can't help you with but I can't see a D3 hub fitting a PF D2. Could be wrong though. Good luck with it

But i don't think that RS6 rear brakes will fit D2 facelift either, but maybe it fits D3
 But D3 have electric handbrake so maybe no one have tested to uppgrade the rear brakes on that one. .

I have the c6 brake upgrade on my c5 ( ft and rear)and yes the c6 rear brakes have the electronic handbrake attached but I have movit calipers with audi discs and pads with a bracket made to attach the handbrake. Martin at unit 20 fitted mine but I don't think he is using that now as he is doing a Loba version.
