are there any other caliper options for the 850 apart from the usaul R upgrades been looking at some s2/porsche 4 pot brembos on ebay for a decent price just wonderd how much work would be involved to make them fit

Think you need 18" wheels to fit the porsche kits, other than that i don't know.

Mate I have vw Audi calipers on my 850 r with Volvo xc90 330mm brembo discs and they are awesome, pic of said upgrade in my garage pics
nealevo i need to see these brakes,,,pictures please as ive wondering the same thing??
1995 854 t5r
what kind of money did it set you back if you dont mind me asking for the whole set up
hi mate, cost me £140 for disc and pads, £28 for pads vw passat or golf vr6 and discs £110 for XC90 330 mm brembos, as for calipers and carriers i got them from a vw breakers in coventry, 'sanburn vw' and they were £40 :-) i took a chance on fitment as im a vw nut at heart, and they bolted straight on the hardest part was getting the standards off, and they fit snuggly under my 17 inch volans, stopping power is awesome with no fade or vibration and i even went on a track day and no problems, my next plan is for audi rs4 setup but will need bigger wheels so it can wait.... and probs let me know and ill try and help

do the carriers bolt straight onto the volvo hubs?
just had a look on ebay and all the vr6 calipers seem to be 288mm am i looking for the wrong ones lol
I think they are from an Audi coupe, and the discs were trial and error on which gave the closest clearance, I will take a pic when my car is off ramps I'm having a decat pipe fitted at mo,

would they be from a 90s audi coupe quatro twin piston they look similer
Mine are only single piston (very big thou) i think it was audi coupe v6 and I'm using s/s braided hoses off a 302mm Volvo conversion,
Look on eBay numbers
170513918472 brake pads
150611500124 calipers are like these
I would be very interested to know the exact part number of the caliper and the car it came from, you may have stumbled accross a nice new secret there.
If there is any way you can find out it would be gratefully appreciated by many.
Arguing is pointless....she may not be right but she's never wrong
Tell her a remap is just having your satnav updated.....
bet even on standard disc they would beater being twins
yeah sounds a better idear just need to finnd out what carriers to use as the biggest brake setup on the 90s quatros seems to be just under 290mm
