Re: Hispec brakes....or not very hispec!!
Get a refund mate, tell them that you have been misled into buying the kit off them, you should not have really paid upfront....... [img]images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] hope all is sorted soon....... and these are the same guys who want a lovely RS4 to fit a new brake system to........ i dont think your issue makes it any easier for them! hope all is sorted soon.

Re: Hispec brakes....or not very hispec!!
Having read your post orginal post through again...
There are anti-rattle springs/clips which use the 2 bolts which go above the pads....obviously these weren't included in the kit for some reason.
The reason why you have had problems with the hole size maybe (and I mean maybe) because the car they used to measure up the kit is mine which is a Nov 99 car. Apparently there where 3 different front brake set-ups for the S4 Pre-Oct/Nov 99, Oct/Nov 99 & post Oct/Nov 99 so your standard set-up may well be different with different bolt sizes.....

Re: Hispec brakes....or not very hispec!!
A lot of people seem to just go for the GMBH upgrade which is diff pads and disks but its bloody expensive at £800 odd IIRC. Other than that its the mosnter Movit/Brembo route which is fookin expensive. Anyone know of any other routes, I'd be interested too, methink sI will need it after Sportec chip goes in [img]images/graemlins/biggrin3.gif[/img]
