Remember when someone on here was trying to make something like this and got shot down?

Someone made an adapter to fit 312mm fronts onto the rear and space the caliper out - iirc sold they're octavia shortly after made no more
 
I've got Compbrake 330mm x 20mm bell/rotor and caliper spacer (StevieWs' old setup)

 

have a poor pic

 

256mm rears are not good enough

Not vented like 256mm standard  :wonder:

Does it keep the handbrake line?

Both those setups use the OEM caliper

 

ie handbrake as per normal

Nice

I have 312mm rear disc set up on my octavia.S3 front discs machined to fit S3 rear calipers and homemade adaptors....I may still have the adaptors dimensions but I am away from my pc....

What front setup are you running ?

Sounds like an interesting setup

 

My experrience of Evo8 calipers (on an Evo) seem of similar nature to Brembo GT's

 

But that's a much more useful disk and width

Its a wonderfull setup,IMO its much better than the GT kit due to bigger disc area!

I was going to use porsche cayenne 6 pots but pads are a more expensive than the EVO ones......
