Yes the B6 brakes will fit under the standard S4 wheels etc. Had them on my car but upgrading now to brembo 4pots and 380mm discs. PM me if your interested in them.

RE: transmission

You should get yourself onto the 034 motorsport site and have a look at the stuff they sell. I've got their engine and gearbox street density mounts, front snub mount with cage. Both the front and rear rear diff mounts. Along with an AWE DTS. Wear and tear on these parts can contribute to the knocki...

RE: FMIC Fitted!

Hey. I have one of those kits as well so would be interesting to see what the fit and finish of yours is like compared to mine. I've gone down the route of converting the side grilles into RS4 style ones (quite a lot of work but worthwhile). Will post some picks up if you want to see what it looks l...

I have street density and don't notice much vibration so not sure what the track density would be like. I would say that if you really want it locked down then go for the track but if you just want a decent upgrade from stock then go with the street. Again i would say get all the mounts you can incl...

RE: Best engine mounts/snub mouts

I would also agree that 034 are the way to go too. In my experience just get all the mounts that they sell. Other wise the one you miss out just becomes the weak link in the chain and you get a lot of movement from that part.

RE: Help! Big vibration from rear diff!

Just remembered that i had an 034 rear diff mount fitted a week and a bit ago (along with gearbox and engine mounts), so the vibrations are probably stronger coming through the chassis now. Cheers for all the replies guys!

Help! Big vibration from rear diff!

Usually a bit of vibration goes hand in hand with some of those top shelf DVD's you can buy down seedy back streets.....unfortunately this time its coming from the back of my car. It happens on tight turns (coming out of junctions etc) when i accelerate gently. Its a kind of hard vibration which sou...

RE: B7 RS4 Calipers on B5 S4?

I was wondering about whether it would need brackets too. I know the RS6 calipers go straight on without needing anything.

B7 RS4 Calipers on B5 S4?

Do B7 RS4 calipers fit straight onto the B5 S4? If not then what is needed?

Cheers, Ross.
