Need Help with REAR S4 brakes...
Is anyone here running this set up?
I though the S4 rear brakes can NOT be used on the A4's.
I'm told that someone here is running that S4 rear set up(not the A8)....
If this is true....what parts do i need?
Calipers,brakets, rotors and pads???
Hand brake cables? S4 brake lines?
Let me know,
I have located a S4 in a salvage yard...Its a bring your tools and Pull your own parts...
Thanks

Audi Tech article on A8 front brake upgrade also discusses a rear upgrade
that uses some S4 parts. Check it out.

Did you have to machine the calipers?
The tech article I referenced above suggests this may be neccessary - is the a model-year specific issue, or am I missing something from tech article (maybe the A8 rear discs are larger and cause this?). Thx in advance Rob,

Thanks....I know about the A8...Do not want/Need the A8 rear upgrade...
It gets very expensive buying new stuff from dealer...also, Impossible to find a A8 in a salvage yard...So, S4 rear brakes, are the way to go....(if u ask me)

Take a look at the article. The "A8" rear uses all S4 parts except the discs
Uses S4 calipers and brackets and shows pics and an install - that's what I wanted u to look at.
