You will need custom caliper mounting brackets(5).

Depending on the rotors you select, custom brake rotor hats(1).

These two items adapt the calipers and rotors to your car.

Also custom brake lines(4).

IMO, your better off getting a BBK, where all these factors have already been engineered, and fabricated for your specific make
and model of car. As "custom" brake parts are generally very expensive to procure.

Here's my latest brake upgrade-

B7 S4 brakes. Cost me less than $700, and are 345mm rotors.

Soon to have these-

B7 RS4 brakes. 365mm rotors, 8-piston Brembo calipers, and all these bolt right onto the B6 A4!

The caliper brakets and rotor hats have already been engineered and everything just needs to be bolted on! Can be DIY installed in less than 2 hours!

Nice! How do you plan to get your hands on a set of those [MikTip]?

ok i should probably get rid of them then but where can i get a hold of some s4 or rs4 calipers and parts needed to do the brake job oh do the rear calipers fit on as well or is it just the front that bolts up.
