Thanks, I had seen this thread but missed the bit about Phaeton discs being 360mm, just to confirm, can I run Phaeton discs with RS4 calipers?

There must be an economical way to upgrade S4 brakes, seems crazy to spend 20-25% of the purchase price on brakes alone. Why are they crap, disc size or calipers?

S4 brakes

I'm looking into improving my S4's brakes but don't want to spend a huge amount, only paid £5k for the car. Don't really want to go to second hand RS4 brakes. I've done a bit of a search and seen 993 turbo calipers are mentioned, is a kit available to use them with standard discs or some other one p...

10mm spacer and 225/40x18 tyre for 8x18 et43 wheel on the B5 S4. 19" is a bit big on the B4 S4, they fit but it will compromise the ride etc. Sorry, forgot to say they were 18".

Advice needed on wheel fitment and tyres

I've recently bought some B5 RS4 wheels for my S4, they are et43, do I need spacers to get them to fit correctly? Also do I want 225 or 235 section tyres?

Health check at MRC

Had a health check on my S4 yesterday at MRC. A few problems, mostly sorted by a new MAF and rubber hose on the throttle body. It was like a different car on the way home. Top company and well worth the trip, as if everyone on here didn't already know that! :D

Thanks, got it booked in for a health check at MRC. It's had a re-map there before, should be 310 bhp but doesn't quite feel like it.

Newbie saying hi!

Just saying hi. Recently bought a B5 S4 after several years with a Golf G60, which I think a few guys on here have done. Not a minter but it's had money spent in the right places - hope it's not going to get too expensive! Post some pics sometime.
