B6-S4 front brakes

[james0808]

Can someone tell me the part numbers to the front brakes please?

 

[james0808]

Has any one gone from B5 S4 to B6 S4 brakes.Might have a set of B6 ones but want to make sure they are better than the B5 ones i have now,which are really good.

 

[kenny_boon]

im not sure you will notice much difference tbh

im wanting B6 s4 brakes as i have the standard 1.8T brakes. the B6 S4 are single pot 345mm

 

[james0808]

Its the single pot that bothers me.Plus replacement discs + pads are a fortune.

 

[kenny_boon]

how much are the new discs and pads?

i really doubt they would be that much better than what you have tbh

 

[james0808]

how much are the new discs and pads?

I have phoned a few places and they all said they dont do them and if i find somewhere that does they will be very expensive.Might be dealer parts only???

 

[kenny_boon]

yeah maybe right enough, no idea how much the dealer items are tho

Hi, if your stud pattern is 5x112 and the distance between the mounting wholes of the carriers are 147mm then they should fit. The reason for sale is iv done a big brake up-grade so no longer need these ones. kind regards Steve

seems ok then

would u need to fit the brakes differently ie the right one on the left and left on the right so the caliper was at the rear of the disc?
