RS4 FRONT BRAKE CONVERSION.

Post by **ADYS4FKU** » Sun May 04, 2008 8:36 am

Hi guys.
Just want to know if this conversion, fitting RS4 (B5) front discs and calipers is any good, or worth while?
Do you notice a big difference when fitted?
CHEERS.

If your going to upgrade your brakes go with stoptechs. )I havent personally had them on my car but i was a couple buddies with two S4s did a compare and contrast on the Stoptechs against the porschs 996 brakes on an S4 and the stoptechs had better stopping.

PLUS Stoptechs fit under Std wheels - RS4's require 18" wheels at additional expense if you hadn't already changed them.

Are the RS4 B5 brakes a straight fit onto the S4 ?

They are a straight fit on the s4 , not sure about space under the 17in wheels .

Just won some RS4 front brakes on ebay.
What to fit some braided front brake hoses. Does anyone know which ones to buy? S4 saloons or A4 Quattro Est/ RS4. Just need the fronts. Am running on 19" RS6 rep. Thanks in advance.

Those will not fit with the 17" wheels. I have tried it with a stock S4 wheel, and it would need at least 2 mm more space to the caliper.

The RS4 lines are already braided so I have been told and the RS4 brakes are good upgrade (well they were for me as I upgraded from 1.8T brakes).
