Porsche 944 Brembo Calipers /S4 Rotors
A month ago one of my brake lines blew out putting the audi out of commission. About 6 months ago i bought a pair of front 944 Brembo 4 piston calipers with 6 sets of race pads for $200, and then picked up some slightly used Slotted S4 rotors for free from work (a steal). A similar setup goes for about $1,500 online. So this was all the motivation i needed to finally get around to doing this project. This is what's up so far.
Brake bracket designed in Solid Works:
Making the caliper bracket:
mounting plate for CNC later on
CNC'ing the blocks to have the right step down
stepdown made:
CNC'ing the wishbone shape for clearance
CNC done.
On Calipers, perfect fit...
Brackets on car
Calipers on:
The 16" wheels did nto clear, so have to use my B6 17" wheels and will get summer tires for them.
Tight fit, but a really good one.
will mount up the other side on sunday, and then have to wait for my Stainless braided lines to come via 2 Day Mail.

This is the same project that I did over a year ago and I love it. I did not have access to a CNC machine but I did my measurements and had a machine shop cut down my brackets form ECS Tuning. I also did a B6 S4 rear brake conversion and the same shop milled the spacers for me. I like how yours came out.
Here are a few pictures of my project and now both the front and rear brakes are cross drilled, vented and 2 piece floating.
Porsche 911 calipers, (front):
They were rebuilt and powder coated Porsche Red.
Brackets that I had machined, (No CNC skills here ... )
Before:
After:
B6 S4 rear calipers:
Custom made billet spacers for the rear brakes:
Finished and installed, (front):

Both those projects look great guys - you both did an awesome job. Russian - from the looks of your rotors, it's about time you started driving that thing again

thanks guys, almost done with the other side, and once the lines come in i'm good to go. i do also have to replace my CV boot... again... rock must have gotten lodged in it and ripped it last time i went rallying.
