  • the position is right, but on mine, the cable was more tense...but could be a matter of the setting above the propshaft, there is the threaded rod, if there you have it set on far back, could be why they are not in tension...

    p.s.: the handbrake should grip firmly on the third tooth btw...

    • thanks Sküll, sounds logical. I have to adjust the handbrake cables anyway, I just tried if the cables would fit. oh man, looks like the adjusting is a big pita

      • no, not so much, you now just need a special wrench (10mm):



        there is no space up there, and the exhaust and propshaft is in the way. get a wrench like the one in the pic, and setting the handbrake will be a pleasure.

        • I used a box spanner or tubular spanner taped in a socket, you can leave all the heat sheilds, prop, exhaust in place.



          I can't see your picture Skull? Just get "image hosted by tripod"

          Also are you missing the clip that holds the handbrake cable outer to the bracket?

            • you are both right, the clip is missing. it´s laying around just next to the car

              I think I will try it with this type of spanner. there´s always a good reason to buy new tools

              • Hi everyone.
                Some time ago I mount the S4 B6/B7 rear brakes and I saw a problem to mount them


                Well, don't any serius problem.

                But I've other little problem, when I drive I can listen one "clanck" in the rear but if I brake or put the hand brake, the sound desapear.
                I been watching ETKA and I saw some clips that I dosen't put.
                They're 3D0 615 231 and we haven't in the material list that was puttend here.

                It's possible that clips become with the brake pads and EBC dosen't sell me the pads with they??

                Thanks

                • the pads need some metal clips. it is possible the pads are moving if you didnt use them.

                  you can see the clips here:

                  • YES!
                    I talk about with Audi and they can sell me these clips but for around 35€+21% (tax)

                    EBC says that they haven't any idea about these clip s

                            B7 RS4 seems to run 324mm discs on rear with different calipers and carriers to this conversion.

                                edit... Oh btw... If S4-b7 fits RS-b7 fits to. =) Know that a guy here in sweden had RS4a calipers on his S4. Same guy I bought my RS4-b7/RS6 front calipers from.
