B5 S4 Brake upgrade

[bowen]

Hi Guys,

I have just purchased some B5 S4 Brakes (From AlexGsi2000 I believe) for my B6. I understand they are a good upgrade. Other than needing discs and pads, what else will I need?

Thanks,

Just make sure your wheels don't hit the calipers as the S4 item are very wide. It's not the height of the calipers it's the width .

I had trouble with mounting my Brabus 19" wheels.

I have 18" S Line wheels on my car and I need 8mm spacers to allow them to fit. Other than that, they're a direct bolt on. The difference is huge, like night and day.

Yes they are much bigger than then standard S-line setup If I remember my S4s were 321mm when I was running them, but I have reverted back to standard 312 s-line setup .

Christ they are BIG! Thanks for the advice guys, spacers are added to the list. My wheels are ET 42 so 10mm spacers?

Col, what size spacers did you go for also what ET were the wheels that you had them fitted behind?

My Wheels are ET 42.

Cheers,

You need 3mm whell spacers to clear the calipers ;to fit the calipers you need ET 39.

I didn't run spacers on the Brabus Wheels they were a low ET . I think they were ET 44 or something along them lines
