Refurbishing the calipers is desirable, but nearly impossible. A great many brake parts companies are using the American listings for the front brakes. Remember that the North American market got a G60 retrofit. So it's G60 seal kits that often turn up, despite efforts to ensure otherwise.

My black V8 may keep its UFOs, but the originality is not important, given that all three cars are renovation projects with many other compromise


To the OP, your choices are

1. Original parts. Expensive. But the UFOs do work well, and you only need fit disks and pads

2. Retrofit S6 brakes. Probably the same financial investment, give or take .

3. Modify the struts for HP2 brakes, or a brembo style setup. Also likely to be a similar price.

93 100e quattro V6. Titan, i think
