Big brakes or Not
fuscobal:
I've searched for RS4 B5 brakes on ebay and the prices seem pretty high, not to mention I couldn't find the "Audi exclusive" lighter drilled discs but only the plain ones ! What would be a correct price for such a kit on second-hand ? (calipers, carriers, discs, pads, bolts, lines, splash shields...)
fuscobal:
k, just found some RS4 B5 brakes with standard discs (not drilled) and pad. The set has about 10.000km wich is not much. Is the caliper bolt-on to mk5 with no other mod ? (like custom carrier or something)
What do you think about 450Euro for this setup ?
Top Cat:
I will direct DaveB to this thread when he next appears, he is the chap who got me the kit and made it fit.
I will try and explain the fitting but will probably just confuse myself and you. When fitting the Audi discs there is nothing to hold it onto the hub other than the wheel bolts. I wasn't happy about this so he came up with the idea of a screw that goes through the disc into the hub and a shim that keeps the disc centred, it was a pretty simple fix But Dave would be able to explain it better than me. :happy2:
fuscobal:
Ok, thanks. I sent him some PMs myself but he doesn't seem to be around in the last days !

Sorry been away with the smelly cheese eating surrender monkeys.

If you're looking at the B5 RS4 kit over on audi-sport.net get them bought quick - Im seriously thinking about buying them myself.
You'll need conversion shims, 3mm longer carrier mounting bolts (OEM), spiggot rings and expanding collets for mounting the discs. Its sound engineering that we were lucky enough to have another look at recently to check it over again and it works really well.
The whole kit complete for mounting is £100........ each item is machined individually.
You'll also need some different hoses - £45
And some Mk5 R32 disc shields - £10
Get them bought mate
