You are probably talking about the stock one. That little rusty POS in the picture.

The cheapest ive seen them is 56 a piece.
I do agree that $140 is pretty outrageous.

not sure if I read the pricing right on your site...is it $140 for one or for a pair? These are around $50 a piece at Clair...

Now you need to make a generic one that just has the 4 rings or something so all of us non-S4-guys-with-S4-brakes can have something without being a poser

Since i put my rims on i have been meaning to paint my calipers and actually priced these out recently so i could do it all in one shot and $55 to $60 seems to be the going rate. I gotta agree w/ mofsteel, there is NFW i would pay $140 when i can get it for $110.

140$ hell no! u can get them from the dealer cheaper than that. Also from ecs tuning cheaper also vagparts.com had them last month for under 60.00 FOR THE PAIR shipping is expensive i thinks its from germany but it was still under 100.00 total.

Exactly my point.

[jaybquick@JHM]

Our local dealers retail is $185. I will have to look at a better price on these and see what I can do. I am not a massive parts house yet so I just don't have the buying power. I will put it near my cost.


Thanks for the feedback and I have lowered my price near my cost and I will see if I can compete. Or maybe I should stick to making more of our own stuff. :)

[EYE4SPEED]

I've been wanting these for a long time (I posted a WTB for used ones since some have upgraded to a BBK). I bought these two years ago for $20 a piece from World Impex. The price has over doubled to approximately $55 each. I wanted a group buy for these, but not much interest.

This is a nice way to dress up our B6 cars! I'm the first to sign up for a GB on these. C'mon JHM - let's do this.

[ngng]

i've always thought this looks tacky

[sakimano]

not sure it looks tacky...it's just not that big of a deal

this was only available on the 2007/2008 S4, but honestly who cares? I guess some people do.

I'd rather have brakes that say BREMBO...I'm still shocked BREMBOs aren't standard on the S4.

[FastB7S4]

vagparts.com had them last month for under 60.00 FOR THE PAIR shipping is expensive i thinks its from germany but it was still under 100.00 total.

vagparts.com WAS in england, but no more. i actually went to their website last week to buy these exact spring clips because i saw how low priced they were months ago, but their site was down. after inquiring around, i learned that they are no longer in business. i should've bought them when i first saw them but i put it off.

[RAudi Driver]

I paid $43 for a pair back in '06 at the dealer.

I'd take an aftermarket kit over stock anyday.

Oh noooo thats funny because after xmas i checked also to see about ordering them but their site was down i figured it was just for the holidays i guess not thanks for the info. About 2 1/2 years ago i ordered an RS4 grille from them before RS4 grilles were popular for my b7 a4 i just found the reciept the other day the grille was only like 80 bucks crazy how prices go up.

i've always thought this looks tacky

IMO they only work on silver/grey calipers because the blend in and look as if they are part of the caliper. Any other color i gotta agree w/ the tacky comment.

[EYE4SPEED]

Finally pulled the trigger. Will be going on once I get some new summer wheels.

[streamline]

Yea why did these go up so much in price, i have a friend that paid under $50 for 2 a couple years back. $120 a pair...wow! too much for me to justify.

[manhattanprjkt8]

they are sorta to flashy...it would be cool to have some more understated sets or maybe even a color match to stock s4 colors...id prob purchase them if they came in nogaro

[charlatan]

Here is my question, and I am pretty sure I know the answer.

Will these fit rears too, or just front?

I don't have stock front, but I do have stock rears.

[mad70sx]

^^^ I agree. I might be interested if they were available for the rears as well.

[...Mark...]

No just the front. The rear uses a smaller caliper that does not have the rattle clip.

[BlueByU]

I did my last year. It looks really good!

[jaybquick@JHM]

Even though our price is "high" we have sold many of these. I am guessing due to convenience and possibly some of these sites may not even have them in stock or their prices are not updated.

Oh well. Thanks to those thus far who have bought them from us and glad some of you enjoy this little mod.

All i need to do is paint my calipers.

[B6guy42]

I have had these on my car for over a year now. I didn't know that no one knew about them. I bought them straight from the Audi dealer in Brooklyn for 55.00.

EDIT:

The dealer is Life Quality Audi/VW. I would buy them from Jay though considering the dealer probably changed the price 100 times since I bought them. The more money we spend with Jay, the more he has to R+D new products for our vehicles! He seems to be the only company offering things that are not made elsewhere, so stick with him and support him.

[S4J]

I paid $43 for a pair back in '06 at the dealer.

Haha, me to :)

JHM thanks for competing on the price. Once again your responsiveness to the Audi enthusiast community is apparent. To me that says a lot.

That's a great point to consider .

agreed

I appreciate JHM packaging this deal together but even $100 is a tough sell right now but thats just the way it is

[Ski10804life]

$55

[Ski10804life]

Also can someone PM me who knows, will these fit ont he B7A4 calipers?

[streamline]

Ski10804life, thats $55 each, $110 total :(

[homeychan]

Wow I can't believe all the guys above with S4 complaining over $20! I bought them from JHM and painted my calipers this weekend, for the extra 20 the JHM guys are always really helpful and friendly so why not pay them for the knowledge. ANyways here is a link to a picture of them on my car, slightly overexposed but it was getting dark. The black calipers and logo look really nice, big imporvement over the stock setup.

[moacur!]

No offense to anyone, but... Does anyone have a picture of these on a good looking S with some good looking wheels? I'd think they could look good, but I dunno...Kinda looks cheesy...

[homeychan]

Wow - I guess you don't like the wheels, but I like them, they are 3 piece made in Japan with anodized lip so they won't discolour. These clips are stock on the B7 S4, they look identical to them. Saw a B7 yesterday with them and it looks good.

[LJH]

I personally think they look great but am turned off by the price......but then again I am really cheap :-).

Cheers,
Jim
