B5 Alloy Uprights

[AndyC]

I know it's been asked but

Are there other chassis with alloy uprights except RS4 ones (seem to cost a lot)

B6/B7?

B6/b7 fit. You will just need to get a new lower control arm for alloy uprights.

Anyone actually weighed the alloy and non alloy ? If there's a lot of unsprung mass to be reduced, I don't mind but I gotta change my Caliper adaptor

I have 1 each here, I shall weigh them

I assume due to different ball joint taper?

Correct. Additionally, the caliper carier holes on s4/rs4 b5 and b6/b7 are different than on A4 B5, so it is good to do it if you upgrade calipers.

B5 RS4 is the same as C5 A6 after 2002.

B6/7 A4 also fit but are slightly different.
