I'm running porsche 993 turbo (aka big reds) fronts but needed a 3mm spacer to fit avus s3 17" alloys with cupra r 323mm discs and ds2500 pads with braided lines and ATE super blue fluid and they are awesome.

More important than calipers, imho

Would you say I'm better off keeping the original calipers an change my pads?

There's a set of calipers off a porsche 966 turbo but the model numbers don't seem to match the ones that fit my octavia can anyone shed any light on these please

996-351 419

996-351 420

Don't suppose u know the model number for these calipers?

Are spacers ok to use?

Should help bud. I've had no problems using the spacers so far.

that depends on how far off what you want you got

 

I'd rate red stuff as being 25-50% less effective than the OEM Mintex/Pagid pads

 

A Pad like a DS2500 is circa 25+% more effective than OEM Mintex/Pagid pads

 

If you do go for uprated calipers, just don't knobble them by putting crap pads like red stuff in them
