Big brakes or Not
fuscobal:
Hello Dave,
I've actually found these on ebay, not audi-sport.net (don't have an account there and don't know if it's the same seller). Dave, can you also please respond to my PM regarding the R32 rears ? :)

Huh - I think you may have your wires crossed. The B7 RS4 (with the standard 360mm iron discs) have 8 pot calipers up front, and single pot rears. The B5 RS4 also had 8 pots up front.
The only Audis I can think of with those 2 pot calipers was the B5 S4.

Hi Sean
B5 RS4 had the same caliper as the MK4 R32 2 x 43mm pistons, if you look at page 2 on here you'll see a promo Audi pic for the competition pads and discs that are available and shown on ETKA. You paid double and got drilled discs instead of plain and some thinly disguised RS19/29's which had an Audi part number.
RS4's ---- B7 8 pots 365mm disc - B5 2 pots 360mm disc
Its a handy setup for those that need some more stopping but have restrictive rimmage that wont allow opposed piston calipers.
B5 S4 had two pot lucas calipers on 323mm discs from memory, you'll remember these were the ones with 4 "triangular" style pads per corner, you'll also probably remember that they weigh a bloody ton and after 2003 they changed it to a iron housing and an ali frame to slim them down a bit

Ahhhh - me getting confused. It was the C5 RS6 with the 8 pot Brembos. Maybe those were retro-fitted to B5 RS4s????

Righty :happy2: So who made those two-poters? And how rigid are the sliding pins? And will they fit under 18" Monza IIs ? :wink:

That's right - Lucas calipers - not very popular design! :sick:
