Looking for the front brake carriers (bigger) to a B6 A4 with the V6 3.0L motor...

For a friend.

If anyone with the bigger front brakes from the 3.0L have upgraded to a BBK and wants to sel his 3.0L carrier, he's buying.

OT, but aren't the 3.0 rear brakes larger then the 1.8s? But all thats needed to swap is 3.0 carriers and rotors?

Correct the rear brakes on the 3.0L cars are also bigger.

All that's needed is the larger carriers and bigger rotors. The caliper and brake pads are the same.

Do you know how much bigger? Worth the swap bigger?

If you're talking fronts then no IMHO it's not worth it.

This guy is cheap (lol) and already as the front rotors from the 3.0L so he does not want to spend more on a brake upgrade.

If going bigger on a B6 A4 go for the B5 S4 HP-2 front calipers or go real BBK.
