RS4 B5 rear brake upgrade options

Post by ddidds » Sun Aug 18, 2013 12:15 pm

Hi

what options are there for a rear brake upgrade on an rs4 ? ideally i would only adapt a set of brembo calipers and leave the discs alone.
found a lot of rear porsche /brembo calipers on the net but they all are for 26-28 mm thick discs so i think they won't fit on 22mm discs .

any advice is much appreciated

Be interested in this too. What have you got on the front? 18z's or B7 calipers.

18z with dba discs
it's full of rear cayenne calipers on the net but i don't think they work on the rear rs4 discs

you can fit the B7 Rears a basicly a bolt on but you do nee the calliper carrier and cut a slight scallop out of the hub to fit the bot to secure the calliper i did a complete B7 upgrade to my B5 here's the link
