brakes setup in 16" rims

[Rocco]

hello Kitty¡¡

for the moment i have the oem 16" 3b rims...and for me they are enough


about front brake options... i have 303x30 ventilated discs already mounted with Mercedes Benz 2 pistons calipers and they feels much better than "oem" 276x25 girling 60


and now.. for rear brake options...i have the "stupids" 245x10 oem brakes...and i am thinking that its the hour to upgrade it.

more or less i know something about the threads for "S4 B5" rear brakes... and other option is just this :

in Spain i know a man who have for sale a 286mm ventilated rear discs and 304 mm ventilated discs too ( for our audi cars of course) in 5x112... the calippers will be 4 pistons and the brakes trademark " K-Sport"

someone had an experience with it??? the price for the 286 option is 890€ and for 304 is 990€. in both options we will lose the handbrake... but...surelly in overall much better braking feel.

aniway the same man has for sale 2 handbrake options like "line lock" or "hidraulic handbrake" like the WRC price for bot around 200€..discounted inclusive.



my main questions can be if i will go for the 304mm ventilated rear discs with 4 pistons calipers... and my actuall 303 front brake 2 pistons calipers...if my car will be dangerous..because normally all cars have heavyer and better front brake setup...and with my supposed setup i will have more or less the same braking power...
my car will be crazy whem i will touch the brake????

i need some help about it because i dont know nothing about brakes...

DON'T use front calipers at the rear. They have huge pistons, and due to master cylinder design - you car will be like with handbrake only (no front brakes). I mean rear will be locking BEFORE front actually starts braking.

Car will be dangerous, and will stop like train. Some ppl used small front calipers at the rear (in audi S3, used golf calipers or something), and huge front porsche ones in the front. Even with proportioning valve - it was still non stopper.

The only occasion when you may run fronts on the rear - when you are using twin (racing) master cylinder and have everything adjustable. Then you take benefits of larger caliper and don't kill yourself.

But for that - you need racing pedals, etc.
