I'm not using S4 rotors, I'm using 993 rotors. I'm not '85/'86 spindles, I'm using the early spindles from '80 or '81.
^^^^ Same setup (early spindles, adapters, 993 rotors) and the BJ clears the rotor OK.

On my 81 the stock front brakes were pathic , fred flintstone had better braking . The s3 brakes were good , then I saw that the car hung on the front ball joint ,very scary . So I changed to S4 front suspension and GTS brakes BIG diffrence .
