RS4 (b5) calipers on S4

Post by am8631 » Mon Dec 03, 2007 12:04 pm

ok - ive got some RS4 front calipers on the way and I understand that they will bolt straight on. I will need RS4 discs (££££!!) and pads, but i will also need the brake lines as these are not included. Shall i simply get standard RS4 brake line - do they mate up to the S4 connectors?

I'm running the RS4 lines on mine. I don't think the S4 lines were suitable but it was a while ago so can't be sure.

You will need the RS4 "flexi" hose I think. At least mine have them!

and RS4 handbrake cables...and SRF while you are at it. Worthwhile upgrade IMHO.
