I have Brembo 6 pots fitted to my RS4. Not sure if they are the ones you mean but they are basically a Porsche set up from the GT3 used in conjunction with the original discs. I currently have Pagid yellow pads and find them quite awesome. Superb both on the track (no fade) and normal road use but suspect they will be harder on my discs so have a set of fast road black discs to try as well.

I have tracked the car once and they were brilliant. Did not want to track the car with the standard set up as I found this unsatisfactory for most normal road use. Have attached a picture so you can see if they are the ones you mean.

Awesone, but no I wasn´t taking about those, but they look great and you manage to put the original discs, great job. What I was talking about, was a kit especially made for the RS4 (discs and calipers)

Hi all
Just sold my RS2 and will be looking at getting RS4.
There is a RS4 that has been sold that is standing at the Noble garage on the M4. dont know what the village is. The front brake callipers on the car look like normal car callipers, not Brembo type 4pot calipers with RS4 written on them.
Does the RS4 come out with these calipers or the Brembo type?

I think what you have seen is the standard RS4 Calliper, they are grey on my car, and all the others standard cars that I have seen.
If the brakes had been modified they would probably look more like the ones posted above. Most people seem to opt for Movit or AP.
I have not yet come accross calipers with RS4 written on them.

You going to ship an RS4 to South Africa? Who will service it?

Moving to New Zealand. Want to get RS4 there.
Saw a RS4 at heathrow with Brembo 4 pot calipers with RS4 on them. The standard calipers ( 2 pot single sided.) really look dog.
