B5S4 Front Brake Upgrade Question

[gotboost]

Just wondering if all i need is...

-B5S4 Rotors
-Calipers
-Brake pads

Or is there anything else i need. thanks

You'll need to pick up some brake fluid too.

[gotboost]

So brake fluid and thats it, what about my stock brake lines? Will those work?

[Condo]

Stock brake lines will work just fine but I upgraded mine since I was already doing the work.

[gotboost]

And i can use my stock calliper carrier too right?

and condo, did it make a big differance in stopping power after the upgrade

[Condo]

The carrier is built into the B5S4 calipers. The brakes felt a lot better after the upgrade and a lot less fade.

Thanks, what kind of break pads do u recomend?

[JBM]

I would get the SS lines and I run the Mintex pads. I have to say that the brakes have truly saved my life sometimes. If I had my stockers I would have been dead.

I've been running Hawk HPS pads for over a year now. Great bite and low dust.

[gotboost]

are u runing those in the front only or both front and back..... those are the pads i used to run in my RSX...

[Condo]

Front and back. I like to keep my wheels clean.

does anyone know if B5S4's fit under stock 16's

[gotboost]

and also will they fit under my rs4 reps, 19x8 with a 42 offset

[JBM]

they fit under 17" 5 star stockers

I have the stock rubber lines and Mintex pads at all four corners. Stock rear brakes and B5 S4 front brakes. For daily driving with some spirited runs and heavy braking it works perfectly fine for me. Much better improvement over stock.

why not get the b6 s4 brakes I got for sale.??

[B6driver]

why not get the b6 s4 brakes I got for sale.??

cuz they are 3x the price... i got my b5s4 brakes for $220 (rotors, new pads, calipers + ss lines and some fluid too! lol)

[gotboost]

so will they fit behind my rs4 wheels??

[dougyfresh]

so will they fit behind my rs4 wheels??

Which RS4s? B5 replicas or B7 replicas?



They fit behind my VMR B7 RS4 replicas with plenty of room.

[gotboost]
