RS4 Brakes

[S4twiggy]

picking up my RS4 brake setup tomorrow so my brakes should be up for sale soon. not yet though as not fitting till i refurb them and after GTI spring fest. jus letting you lads know if you want an upgrade for your B5 A4's then i have the brakes for you!

 

[aragorn]

Mind they wont fit normal B5's, without using S4 uprights!

 

[S4twiggy]

fair enough. in the B6 section they go then. cheers

 

[S4twiggy]

picked up these this morning, £200.

i will be refurbing the pistons with a good clean and new seals and putting braided lines.

all i need is pads now so any suggestions? Mintex, Pagid or ferrodo. not sure on the red stuff EBC

 

[G8ANT]

Bargain :thumbsup:

 

[phoenixv6quattro]

Yeah right bargain! I would go for Ferodo DS-2500's. Awesome pads. But as usual, because of the performance they are pricey (but IMO worth it!).

You love the power of these brakes man once you fit them I get my rs4 brakes front and rear for £350 but they were fully refurb

Is the rs4 brake bigger than the s4 brake and will they fit under the Avius 17"

The calipers are not big but the discs are bigger then S4 360mm and you need 18" rims it won't fit under 17"

cheers mukka, ill put them to good use. now go get them springs and get that RS4 on the road dude:icon_thumright:

I've got some part worn DS2500 rear RS4 pads if you want them. Still got quite a bit of meat on them and they are in good condition.

I've 'downgraded' to B6 S4 rears because of the ludicrous price of replacement RS4 rear discs (£450!).

 

[jcb]

i might take those off you if he doesn't want them.
for B5 rear calipers are they?

 

[S4twiggy]

take them mate, im only fitting fronts to mine for now.

 

[S4twiggy]

got these this morning, going to be fitting on the weekend once i get DOT 5.1 fluid, this setup should give me a substantial upgrade over my standard S4 brakes which i think lack stopping power.

 

[aragorn]

Arent you missing the other two hoses for the rear?

 

[Nez]

He is not fitting the rears only fronts

Do you really need to put DOT 5.1? as I only used DOT 4.

 

[Broken Byzan]

Nez, DOT 4 will be sufficient don't worry.

I would say those hoses are axle to caliper for the rear, other wise they are far too long for any of the other applications i can think of

 

[S4twiggy]

hoses are not that long. about 12 inches probably, same lenght as the OE RS4 hoses
