I have a set of UFO struts here, for which I have been planning a brake conversion for some time. It keeps getting put off due to other important issues.
Anyway, I've started. There are 3 caliper options that I want to focus on, for various reasons. HP2 setup. The caliper mounting lugs are M12x1.5 on the UFO strut, and there are 3 lugs, not 2. Compare this to the S6-HP2 struts which were M14, and only 2 lugs. I have a set of HP2 calipers spare. As standard, these are drilled for the M14 bolt. I had considered drilling and re-tapping the strut lugs, but have decided to go with a reducer instead. The next issue is the hub diameter, which needs to be turned down to accommodate a standard disc. Or be replaced with another hub. Hopefully, that will all get done in the next week or so. Brembo Using an adaptor bracket to fit a set of porsche style calipers. Again, the hub needs to be turned down. I've yet to choose a disc, but there is a lot of scope to have a nice big disc, and several options exist, including Mercedes. Q7/porsche cayenne style 6 pots Anyone have a couple that I could borrow?
