you already have the big reds in the front.
I hear that at least 70% of the braking comes from the front so the rear would not make a significant impact.
Now, am I correct or not?
Leaving the rear stock would be sufficient unless you're constantly tracking the car or you like the compliments given to you by other drivers.
Very nice brake application by the way. I wish I had that stuff on my S4.

I wish someone would come out with a 290-295mm kit for the rears.

The front may account for 70%, or more, of the braking performance, but <b>when I brake</b>, the nose doesn't dive....<b>the whole car squats down</b>.

Having all 4 corners improved logically means the workload on the fronts is lessened, as well.

Thanks for the compliment, too.

Their pads are astonishing, and they make the brake systems to your spec. I don't have a clue as to cost.

Perhaps something using the stock S4 caliper?

Let me know if this helps!
