I've been looking at doing the A8 upgrade, but happened across a pair of 4 piston calipers, that might be nice. I suppose that I could take apart my front end and measure it, but if someone had one of the caliper brackets nearby, I would appreciate a measurement center to center of where the carrier bolts to the upright.

 

i can get it tomorrow for you. But you also need to check the offset of what the rotor would be. it can fit but if its not gonna mate with a rotor theres not point. what calipers you looking at?

 

I appreciate you taking a look for me. It saves me the time of having to take apart my car to make the measurement.

The first step is seeing if the bolt spacing is the same. I don't want to mess with making adapters, etc. As for the offset of the rotor, I'm not sure where to measure to. The distance from the mount to surface of the inside pad is 32mm. There may need to be some experimentation when it comes to this part of the game.

 

Were you able to get that measurement jones?

 

sorry its late

 

Thanks. It doesn't look like the caliper will be able to work with that spacing without some major bracket work. I'll just stick with the A8 rotors.
