bad bad brakes

[urquattro-island]

I need better brakes, have original s4 . But I need something better thats a fact of life.

Do I need to change to s6 front susp, or is there something that will fit on these old front "forks"

been locking thruu elsa here at work to compare brakes on audi and i am getting square eyes

[merlin's S4]

I take it you've got the ufo front brakes? If so you're going to need something custom. Corey (on S2forum) is making me a conversion with Porsche GT3 calipers and 332mm discs from an AMG with custom brackets and brake lines! You can also use the 996 calipers which are more readilly available but you'll still need custom brackets. Talk to Corey about your options! If you're lucky and have the G60 front calipers you can do the same conversion as the S2 guys do with Porsche 996 calipers, A8 discs and RS2 brackets.

AFAIK - the UFO equipped S4 can be retrofitted with the later 'big lucas twinpots' (or BLTs as I call them). These are heavy big calipers and work with a 314x30mm disc. To the best of my knowledge that all bolts straight up to the UrS4's that left the factory with the hilarious UFO brakes.

I have a set of dismantled BLT calipers in the garage you can have for the cost of shipment and some beer if anyone likes. I had all great intentions of cleaning them up and renewing seals but I never bothered. All in tact with whatever carriers came of the UrS6 that I got these from.

Not a straight swap, sorry Paul, you require the HP2 strutr also as the hub is different on the UFO's and does not fit the standard Audi style disc.

Bummer - I always thought they were bolt on...

thanks

for the input, maybe I should just go for newer s6 front susp and make brakes from there.. ufo sucks

[mcandmar]

Thats the best option, S6 struts and you should be free to fit any monoblock you want. I couldnt find struts so i just rebuilt the brakes with new disks and pads, such a waste of time, dont waste your money on the UFOs

No need to fit the later struts, I can supply a mono upgrade to suit the UFO strut.

[mcandmar]

You can, how much?

[Corey]

You can, how much?

To keep the cost down we use used calipers and you have 2 choices, 996 4 pot and 320x30mm discs or 996 GT3 4 pots and 332x32mm discs.

996/320 £796
996/332 £983

Both kits come with genuine equipment discs (not pattern parts), pads and bolts. Custom brackets that are hard anodised to protect them and custom teflon coated braided brake lines with stainless steel fittings on the end.

All prices quoted are plus delivery and any local taxes

[mcandmar]

Can i be cheeky and ask for just the brackets?

[urquattro-island]

this

sounds nice, but my cash is really low now, as you know I asked you if youn know anyone who needs turbos or a new cu for 3,0ltr a6 2003mod. I am trying to get rid off a whole lot of parts to fit new brakes on my car...

I really want these porsche brakes their

how mutch are these brackets or am i beeing stupid now

[Corey]

Brackets are £175 plus shipping, never be afraid to ask the question, how will you know. I am happy either way, if people want to supply their own caliper's that's cool with me. I'll help where ever I can.
