Well finally getting it close to where I want it for now. Enjoy B)

When I went to pick it up in Boston. Had to change the wheel bearing, spindle, and trailing arm before I could head home.

She was in pretty ruff shape. Had to stop in Pa to pick up a new hood and OEM headlights. After I got it home the other spindle, wheel bearing, and trailing arm need replaced. Did all that and had it aligned. Then to find out next the rear calipers were seazed and the rotor was warped. Decided to replace them with B7 S4 rear rotors (300mm) and s4 rear calipers. Also went and put on A8 brakes up front (312mm). Also did s/s lines.

That's the comparison of the stock (L) to the S4s ®.

There's the 034 mounting brackets for the s4 calipers.

The stock a4 calipers on the (L) and the s4 calipers on the ®

Well since you have to have atleast 16" wheels for the rotor size. From the looks of it the rears need atleast 18s bc the caliper is almost touching the inside of the wheel. So I got some 18's for it. Oh and bought Ryans old S4 bumper.

what did the rear brake setup run you. i just got some a8's up front, and wanna do the rear s4.

did you just buy the calipers from a junk yard and new rotors?
just curious what everything ran you, and if thats the path you took.

edit: oh and get on that clear corner mod..........car's shapin up and looking real good.

Thats's clean

Are the A8's 12.3 inches. I swear to Jesus the PO put on A8 rotors.

Nice, I didnt get to put mine on because 034 was selling them without the brake lines at first.. Had the car on the lift and inevitable happened.. Had to get standard S4 rotors to drive out.

**brlukosk** · 07-03-2008 05:18 PM

nice! i'd like to get some s4 rears

I got the calipers from a junkyard for 30 a piece and the rotors were 130 from purems. Got the brackets from 034 and used standered s/s lines with no probmes. You have to install the lines before you put the caliper on. It will BAIRLY clear. I know I need to clear the sides but, I'm getting a pioneer acv-d3, s4 rails, and s4 mirrors. I know they don't cost anything but, it's bc I'm lazy. lol.
