B5 RS4 brakes advice

**steve_malton** · 05-28-2008 02:53 AM

Hi Guys, I have been offered a B5 RS4 front brake setup, can anyone confirm whether these will fit a B6 running on 19" RS4 (B7) replicas? Thanks

I thought they were the same as B5 S4 brakes? If so you can call whatever company (Hartmann, VMR, etc.) you are buying the wheels from and ask. I'm sure both fit B5 S4 brakes

They are the same thing as the S4 brakes.

That's what I thought, thanks for the clarification

The B5 RS4 brakes are not the same as the B5 S4 brakes. The rotors are 360mm vs 321mm and they use a different caliper. You might want to talk to Sandspeed about them. He had a set last year and might have some pictures.

Cheers for the comments guys, the discs are 360mm as Condo says

Yep massive 360mm discs and Big ass Calipers.
A friend of mine has put them on his and he has no issues at all with 18" alloys on his B6 so your 19s will be ok!

Do you know if they use the S4 carrier to mount the Calipers?
