RS4 Rear Brakes

[SimonS4MTM]

I am thinking about upgarding the rear brakes on my S4. One option that i thought about was fitting standard RS4 brakes.

Can anyone tell me if these are a direct replacement, and if they will fit within the 17" Avus wheels.

Has anyone here carried out this mod before?

Thanks

a friend of mine had them fitted on his S4.

They will definately fit under the Avus 17" and they are direct replacement. The brake caliper is the same on S4/RS4 but the caliper holder, discs and pads are different.

It is just a small upgrade, don´t expect any big results. But they definately look better than the mini 256mm S4 discs.

I wouldn´t buy those parts new because they are not cheap. I think there are a lot of guys with RS4 on this forum, which had their rear brakes replaced with Mov´it ones.

Good luck!

I'm not sure the RS4 & S4 callipers are the same.

You need discs, pads, callipers, 2 x RS4 handbrake cables (as they need to be longer) and 2 x RS4 disc backing plates.

Conversion is 4 hours labour (mostly running the longer handbrake cables)


All parts are available from www,.vagparts.com.


Best of luck,

David

Thanks for that David.

I will put a post in the for sale section to find out what i can expect to pay.
