S4 Brakes

[RACK 0]

I've got the chance of getting hold of some nearly new Audi S4 calipers for cheap. Does anyone know if they'll fit my G60 and go behaind 16" wheels?

 

Thanks

Just found out that the Brake discs on an S4 are 340mm.

These calipers are going for a good price, but I'm not sure if they will fit.

 

Should I buy them and see if I can do something with them?

I'm thinking about using the discs from a seat Ibiza cupra, cos I don't think the calipers are as bulky as the Seat brembo's so I might be able get away with keeping my wheels.

 

Anyone got any ideas?

 

Cheers

I've got 330mm disks and AP calipers under my 17" BBS if that helps...

Hopefully I can make them fit under the 16's due to using some smaller discs. I might just get them and see what I can do.

 

Thanks for the tip though

seat brembos are 305x32, phat. under 16".

I've got the Seat ones under a set of 16" Borbet Cs with 11mm spacers... there's not a lot of clearance between the inside of the rim and the edge of the caliper, so little in fact that it removed half of one of the stick on wheel weights! :| :crazyeyes:

 

Wheel choice is critical when choosing big brakes... ;)

That's why I'm thinking about using the original 280 dics or the ones from the Ibiza and seeing if the calipers can be made to fit.

 

I'm looking for options for better brakes, I'd like the brembo set-up but I'd not like the price of a new set of wheels added to it if they're needed.

Not that I'm tight, but I've got the engine to build up first.

 

I've been trying to find some Audi S2 twinpot calipers, but can't get hold of any at the min. That's why I'm thinking bout the cheap S4 ones I can get hold of, and trying to make some brackets to fit them.

 

The wheels I have are 7x16 with a 37ET.

 

Once again thanks for the replies
