B7 RS4 Calipers on B5 S4?

Post by rosshyslop » Mon May 19, 2008 1:32 pm

Do B7 RS4 calipers fit straight onto the B5 S4? If not then what is needed?

Cheers, Ross.

You will need 18" wheels as they won't go under the standard 17 inchers.

So no extra brackets are needed for the fronts?

I was wondering about whether it would need brackets too. I know the RS6 calipers go straight on without needing anything.

Rs6 calipers and Rs4 b7 calipers are exactly the same.
The rs6 has only a differnt disc offset..

So does that mean no brackets for the B7 ones?

no brackets but you will probably need wheel spacers. You might be lucky, depends on the design of the spokes on your 18" wheels.

The calipers are not the same....the RS6 items have a strengthning brace, whereas the '4's don't

Same mounting, so best to go for the '6 ones, as they're the same price, or at least that was the case when I bought mine
