Graze, Thanks for the comments, there is not really any better all round car I don't like the look of the newer ones and I think the B5 will continue to age well like the RS2 although I like my G4 defender 110 as well :D ian, its great you still love her i have only had mine a few months and am stil...

Hi Phil, I decided to stick with standard calipers as they were renewed 12 months ago. Part of the reason was I was concerned about the master cylinder size and didn't want to replace that. However I opted for the proper quattro gmbh sport discs which are cross drilled and pads. very pleased with my...

As stated before I still have my car bought new in mar 2001 after an 8 month wait from ordering. recently I have toyed with the idea of a 355 or 360 just for a change even got to the stage of downloading the manuals and checking parts prices. Then I rented an XKR on my last visit to the UK and it wa...

I have just posted some pics of the new calipers and disks waiting to be installed in the gallery, yep you have seen it all before except maybe the rs2 calipers and quattro sport disks.

not sure how I link the gallery pictures to here

Thanks for info, sadly just a bit too late for me as I went to meet a young lad (they all seem to be to me these days) who advertised a B7 setup including fitting and most importantly the necessary paperwork to register the mods with the swiss version of the DVLA, so its booked in and getting the B7...

Thanks, the reason I thought of option 2 is that its much easier to get the Quattro sport discs here than it was for people in the UK, and as the B7 calipers fit on standard discs I considered than an option - although I am thinking about the affect of the lip that the pad from the original calipers...

If a mod is looking can you remove this please as I have posted it in the correct place now

before you flame me for being crazy - yes I have spent the last few days getting up to speed with current options and I know the B7 calipers are the best thing since slice bread etc. Once again the brake issue has arisen, last winter I had to replace the rear calipers which had seized and stayed wit...

Oops sorry - can't delete this but will post it where I originally intended and as you recommended

Thanks for the info, I had decided to just swap the caliper so I went to the parts supplier and they didn't have it in stock and as time is getting short I booked it into the stealers, just for caliper and pads I hope. When next in UK I will get a kit to do the other side, then next year I will prob...

Hi Topbear, It does seem I have the same problem, thinking about it when i put new disks on a few years ago I noticed a pad imprint shortly after but put it down to putting the handbrake on when hot BUT it could be that caliper was also starting to stick then. Do you mind me asking where you got the...

I will take it off again and have a look at the weekend, thanks for that I hadn't considered the caliper not moving only the pads sticking and also that the piston was stuck as I couldn't "wind" it back in. Off to Germany in a month so would prefer to take the Audi (last year I managed to average 12...

I got both of mine replaced recently with the convex ones they have quite a blueish tint and a vertical line on the side for the convex bit I guess, they are however much clearer than anti tint - and for me much better as I never really liked the fact that you couldn't see what was following you at ...

Hi All, I guess I should reintroduce myself as I haven't been on the forum much for the last few years, I live in Switzerland and I have had my Misano red RS4 from new (mar 2001), its only done 53'000 Km (not miles) but these were mostly long trips and the car was then left for months before the nex...
