    b7 brakes?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Do you guys think the b7a4 brakes are a good upgrade for street driving (never track)? I thought I heard/read that the b7s4 and a4 share the same brakes( calipers, rotors etc). Is that right? I just remember when I had a b7 loaner, the brakes were noticeably better than my stock b6 brakes. Much better, in fact.

    What's the opinion on the b7 brakes?

    B6/B7S4 share the same caliper as the B7A4.

    The B7A4 front brakes are decent with the 320mm rotor. The upgrade to the 345mm rotor adds a little more bite, otherwise not too much of a difference other than a huge rotor that looks nice. It's a nice upgrade for the price.

    what does a used set usually run? I admit, I haven't yet looked so maybe someone can save me some legwork.

    B7 A4/S4 front set should run about ~$400 for carriers/calipers

    I sold my front and rear b7 a4's for 800 shipped. They were near new. I have 2 sets of b6 S4 brakes. One set with rotors and the other set without. Price is $500, $375 accordingly.
