Default Hey Ron, here's what I'm doin...

I'm in the midst of a rear upgrade on my A4. I'm running Boxster S calipers and 312 ECS rotors up front. I just bought a set of matching drilled and slotted ECS 300x20 rear rotors and a pair of brackets from 034 to fit B5 S4 calipers in da rear. I found the S4 calipers for just about nothing and had them powder coated red to match the fronts along with a fresh rebuild. The rotors were about $200 and the brackets $75. So my total parts cost is around $350 plus the install. I already had a set of SS brake lines in da rear. I think your rear calipers would work so all you need are the brackets and the rotors.

This all kinda pales in comparison to the the Green Monstah's 355/6 pistons in front and 314/4 pistons in da rear in Fiendish Yellow but I digress.

Hap, wit dakine brakin goin on not in Evahboost, Maguire

You're going to need longer brake lines in the rear Hap. The ones you currently have won't work.
