@woody, I think it's more than that on the RS4... not slagging your brakes off, hey, anything is better than standard B5 S4

Right now I have the RS6 calipers on my RS4 disks, but I want to change my disks for the new RS4 B7. Can I put them with out any modifications like the ones show in the picture? and what is the part number for those disks?

Regards

Thats what I meant

RS4 (B5) = 1620kg
RS6 (C6) = 1865kg
Diff = 245kg
+ me

= brake fade

You can bolt on the new B& RS4 front disks to the B5 RS4 with no issues being a mechanical <beep> i got Jim at Starperformance to do mine
Clive havent bedded the brakes in yet feel ok so far had a 100 mile trip back from Jim's raining and lots of traffick i had a long talk with jim on the subject of bedding in ie the 2 trains of thought gently over 4-500 mile via Audi and the hard braking from new 8-12 times to blue the disk see link http://www.zeckhausen.com/bedding_in_brakes.htm
think i'm inclined to go this route and will let you know of the results as the artical indicates as long as you don't stop and hold on the bake peddle while the brake are hot the disk's will be fine

Got my RS6+ disks and calipers fitted at MRC. The differnce on my RS4 is amazing!!

This has to be the best value brake upgrade for the B5 RS4...
