Default Question regarding rear brakes (-95.5 S6)

I found out I have to replace both left and right rear brake calipers and pads.I have original calipers, discs , redstuff pads.
I`ll change the discs as well, since I am already on it.

Whats the best and most affordable solution?

I have EBC sport drilled rotors in the front.

Best regards,

Stephan, Norway

Default Just replace with stock (new or rebuilt) calipers and stock vented discs. Procedure link inside.

Most of the work is done by the front brakes so upgrading the rear brakes is not very cost effective. You can used slotted or drilled rotors but they will mostly be cosmetic not functional. Last time I did my rears I used PBR Metalmaster pads (but there are others out there).

Default Buy new....

Price may have gone up slightly, but I think I paid $134 a side when I replaced rear calipers last time.
