brake upgrade
 

i can't remember who here did the a8 brake upgrade
but can you contact me about the job?
i looked @ the tech article on Audiworld and its confusing as hell

im looking to buy new parts from wholesellers instead of ripping them off an a8
so im wondering what i need to purchase and how the install goes

thanks

RE: brake upgrade
 

im interested too, can u put cross drilled slotted rotors?

i either wanna do this A8 deal or a stock 3.0 upgrade.. whats the difference in rotors and what not?

we need to figure out a decently priced rear brake upgrade that still has the ebrake!

RE: brake upgrade
 

Papachristou i say the B6/B7 S4 brakes would be better for you
if u want the B5 S4s would be good also and are cheaper

RE: brake upgrade
 

B5 s4 upgrade is the most cost efficient way to go, and they are pretty good.

RE: brake upgrade
 

B5 S4 brakes bolt directly onto B5 A4???

RE: brake upgrade
 

no they do not
B5 S4 brakes do not fit on b5 A4s, and im not kidding
they do fit on B6s

RE: brake upgrade
 

But the B7 S4 brakes are the sames as the B7 A4 brakes?
Was it you that pointed that out to me?

RE: brake upgrade
 

the calipers are the same but the carriers and rotor sizes are different
the B7 A4 front rotors are 320mm and the S4 front rotors are 345mm

RE: brake upgrade
 

Noticeable difference?
Worth the upgrade?

Just curious, if your upgrading why not buy a BBK made for your specific model. than theres no fitment issues. Unless u can get the A8/s4 what ever u decide really cheap.
