Brake caliper adapter to mount brake discs 310x22mm on the rear axle Audi A8 in connection with the original brake calipers.
Suitable for all:
- Audi A6/ S6 C5 (Type 4B) year of manufacture 1997-2004.
- VW Passat B5 Type 3B
- not suitable for the C5 2.7T, 2.7T four-wheel drive, V8 four-wheel drive, or RS6
When converting to the larger A8 brake discs, the braking performance is significantly increased due to the efficiency and better cooling of the brake discs. Another advantage is that the brake discs of the A8 cost almost half compared to the original 269×22 brake discs. Thus, our holders have already paid for themselves after the first brake conversion.
With this conversion, 17 inch rims can still be retained.
Required components:
- A8 brake discs 310×22 (ATE No: 24.0122-0212.1)
Advantages:
- Extreme deceleration values also in connection with our rear axle brake system
- The material certificate included in the scope of delivery enables entry by individual acceptance even for series vehicles
- Directly suitable for the models mentioned above and can therefore be restored to the original condition at any time without any problems
- Our EPYTEC brake caliper adapters do not require your standard parts to be sent in, no re-welding – re-milling or re-drilling.
Tips, information and advice:
- To improve ventilation of the brake system, we recommend removing the anchor plates/brake dust plates.
- For easy mounting of the rim, we recommend purchasing two of our wheel mounting aids at the same time >>go directly to the article here<<
- We cannot give you a generalized answer as to which rim size you can ride after your brake conversion. There are simply too many different wheel rims. For this reason, we have developed a template with which you can easily check whether the brake system kit fits under your rim. We have included a link to the template in the description. If your rim does not fit, you can simply use wheel spacers.>> Go directly to customized wheel spacers <<
- Install the adapter with the required components and then check whether new brake lines are required, as the old ones may not be long enough or the connection may not fit, depending on the model. Due to the significantly better efficiency, we recommend switching to steel braided lines. We have developed a steel braided line configurator especially for this function, which you can use to assemble and then install them according to your requirements.

- The handbrake cable must always be used from the installed calliper, which means that the new handbrake cable may have to be adjusted slightly. For conversions in which the original calliper is still used and the original handbrake cable can be used, you may have to route it more directly to compensate for the larger disc diameter and longer travel
