Default Do porsche rear calipers have a cable emergency brake?

Also, are our rear caliper mounts the same as the fronts?(if i were to get the bracket for the front will it work for the rears?) I don't want to loose my e-brake, but my tiny rear brakes are bothering me, they look funny.

Default Yes...how do u thing Porsches pass DOT?

I don't know about P brakes fitting on the rear of an A4(never heard that before) However, if your rear tiny brakes are bothering you....The S4 rear brakes a a bolt on.....U need S4 calipers, S4 brackets, S4 rotors and S4 pads....

Not that it's relevant, but many Ferraris have a separate parking brake caliper in the rear.

Default All the Porsche rear brake kits for A4's/S4's use the stock Audi caliper for the e-brake.

It's easier to upgrade to S4 rears.
