Cheers, I contacted him, said it "should" fit a B5 RS4 ... would you agree?? (Ihave RS4 hubs etc)

$36 postage he said, which is not bad for air mail I suppose.

You know, I never thought of Keith! I will give him a shout tomorrow, see if he does have a nice set sitting on a shelf with my name on them

When I changed from S4 brakes to RS4 I also changed the flexy pipes. HTH

Yes RS4 rears are different to S4 (they were on mine anyhow, but mine was early solid [ie non-vented] disc.
As previously mentioned it's easy to make up your own brake pipes, just buy a length of the correct size hose and some fittings.
You need Aeroquip.
Available from somewhere like "DemonTweeks"
Having said all that, I had a lot of trouble finding Banjo bolts to fit the RS4 rear calipers, double fine thread.
Got some from Kim Collins at QST in the end.

If thats the actual pic for the S4 braided lines then make sure you get hollow bolts as looks like banjo fitment on those lines, compared to standard hoses which have threaded ends directly attached to brake lines. I never really trust banjo fitment though too many chances for failure.

Did anybody find someone to do a set that will fit RS4 brakes?

Post by **MarkB** » Thu May 31, 2007 12:10 pm

I'd be interested in a set to fit standard B5 RS4 front and standard S4 rears....

What;s the benefit? I thought the standard ones where teflon lined anyway (giving same flex performance as braided)
