    Rear brake rotor replacement

    Should I be able to remove old rear rotors and mount new ones without removing the caliper brackets? They look like a real pain to remove!

    i think stock is 288MM rear rotors and mine came out .. however it is very tight , your rotor will likely catch a rusted angle edge of the carrier but it will eventually come. Just dont forget to clean the edge up of rust with a small file so your new rotors pass with ease.

    yes when you do that you will immediately see the spot im talking about , just needs a little help but it will come .. sometimes it has to be dressed for the new thicker rotor to go back in due to rust build up.

    Rear brake rotor replacement

    Will it work with having the sports suspension the same way. I’ve seen diy that show having to remove lower shock bolt.
    Rotors are the larger size 288 mm

    All the US b7's use the same rotors, 288x12mm, and yes, they slide right out. Don't work with s4 setup, gotta remove carrier with those.
