Are you still running standard b5 rs4 brakes? or b7 rs4?
I have seen a few pairs of b5 rs4 discs going cheap on ebay.
Or if you have the b7 brakes then get the phaeton discs as they are half the price.

i would have to say if you have the standard B5 calipers it's worth the extra mont to upgrade to the B7 set up best up grade i did when i had my B5

Put the B7 setup on mine. Night and day. They look the part too. Straight swap.
Oh and get the Pheaton cooling shields fitted too.
