Isn't that just the same as the B7 RS4 kit?

My mate is fitting this to his a3 tdi show car
Hopefully they will cope with his 175bhp :lol:

He's not paid anything like that though :shock:

christ that rear mounitng bracket looks a bit agricultural!!

why not just buy B7 rears, not like they are short on stopping power and at least they have the handbrake cable assembly

so has anyone actually tried fitting the r8 brake on a rs4?
i am in the process of doing this, and was hoping i could get some help on gettting it done.
i currently have the r8 calipers, with b7 rs4 rotors pads and lines.
will see if i can use the existing brackets or if i need custom brackets.
