BBK fitting problem

I just bought a front BBK from Manthey-Racing in Germany for a 996 Turbo. It came with GT2/GT3-Cup 6-piston calibers and 350mm GT2
discs. The problem is that the fitment with the stock hub isn't correct. The disc isn't centered between the pistons.

I'd like to know if there are some kind of replacement discs which have been machined to fit without the need to adjust the calibers?

At the moment one option is to custom-made both the calipers and brake pads for GT2 brake disks so they can be used on normal 996TT front hubs, but that doesn't sound wise!

Any idea are the disks sold by EVOMS just OEM GT2 (they won't fit!) or something else that would fit without a hassle!

(I'm talking about 350 mm 6-piston kit).

Thanks for any info!

Any ideas? EVOMS hasn't answered. It seems that doing some custom-work is needed...

Kaizu:

Is the Caliper a Brembo?
If so find the Brembo distributor in your country and call them.

You have to do som machining to the hub. I have made a jig for that so send me an e-mail at peter@ruf.se and I will try to help you. I am located in Sweden.
