Fitted A5 rotors on my A4

[the_muzza]

Just fitted a set of A5 rotors on my A4. For those that don't know the standard A4 rotors that I had on before were 8.5J ET43 with a 255 35 19 tyre. The A5 rotors are 9J ET33 with the same size tyre so roughly 16.4mm extra poke from the arch. This is a pretty aggressive setup for the fronts as most people run a 10 or 12mm spacer up front. They stick out ever so slightly from the front arch.

I haven't lowered my car at all, it's got the sport springs as standard on the S-Line quattro.

There is no rubbing at all so far, but I'm looking to get the Bilstein P12 kit in future so I might have to go down to a 245 section tyre.

Really sets the car off I think as the A5 rotors have a more concave design and look better.

Mine is lowered, the speed bumps and country lanes cripple it lol.

Is yours Aruba Blue? Looks different to mine

I’m not actually too sure what the colours called tbh.
I’ll have to have a check tomorrow.

Looks good, could you park any further away from another car in that car park .

I always park miles away from anyone else. People don't give a **** anymore and will happily smash their door into yours without batting an eye lid. My car doesn't have a single dent on it because of it My wife does gets the hump about me parking miles away though.

Problem is humans are like penguins, they are gravitationally attracted to other cars and I normally come out and find someone has parked right next to me despite the car park being empty!
