S4 B5 Rear Calipers

[Phil10]

So I booked an event for Monday. Which ill be taking my s4. took it out for a drive and the rear caliper starting sticking and I haven't got time to order one because nowhere delivers over the weekend. So I may need to grab one from the breakers for now.
What other calipers would fit the s4 b5? Would the a4 b5 fit? or the s4 b6?
(breakers have both s4 b6 and a4 b5, but not s4 b5, Ill buy the 2 and change both sides)

Pre facelift or facelift S4?

If facelift, A4 calipers 100% will not fit. However if you’ve got a pfl with the solid (unvented) discs I guess there’s a chance the A4 calipers might be the same?

B6/7 S4 rears are a fairly common upgrade on the B5 but you’ll also need new discs and lines and I believe the caliper needs to be spaced out a little. So doesn’t really solve your problem for Monday.

It's a 1998 so pre facelift.
I might take the risk on an A4 caliper maybe.

Did you find a solution then?

No mate. I took the calipers apart and basically reconditioned them, bought new pads and stuck them on, been as good as new since, here's a photo of it on the morning of the car show
