big brakes are in the future

**cerfus** · 04-09-2008 05:14 PM

You know how people swap E500 brakes onto 89' 190E's and what not? well I've read that its possible to throw on porsche 996 brakes onto A6's. The reason I ask is because there is a wrecked 03 996 Turbo at a junkyard close by and the guy wants 500$ for the brakes (calipers and rotors), and there basically in perfect condition. So any info would be helpful here, If anything im going to go get them then sell em on ebay for a profit.

thanks!

heres a dude who did it to an S4

are you sure those are 996 brakes? I thought the ones that worked were from 993's.

**Overboostin** · 04-09-2008 05:43 PM

the ones pictured are actually from a cayenne which are 6 piston. The 4 piston (I think) are from the 993's.

yeah i was just saying heres a guy who actually put porsche brakes on an audi, he didnt really state what type they were other than

My solution is the 6 piston Brembo/Porsche Stage IV kit from ECS tuning.

..im checking those out right now.

no luck, just sit and wait on until I find out If I can roll these 996 brakes on it..I think I can.

**Overboostin** · 04-09-2008 05:50 PM

oh ok. just didn't want you to buy the wrong ones. good luck!

idk if you'll be able to use the 996's. I think it'll require a lot of machining. You can ask around in the s4 forum, you might get more help, but I don't think it's been done before.

I had those brakes. they work well. I sold my kit for $700. I dont know i they are worth it on the audi.

are the RS6 just like a bombshell in comparison?

**FrankA6** · 04-09-2008 09:11 PM

ive only seen 993 brakes used, look and see if 993 and 996 cars are the same hub/brakes ect.....
