A Christmas Present to Myself - Audi S4 Brake Upgrade!

The brakes on my 2013 S4 are… fine. They’re fine. I mean, they have a pretty strong vibration at anything over 100 MPH as I found out on the track day, but for road use they’re… fine. What I think Audi should have put on instead are these, the 4 piston Brembo calipers from the bigger brother Audi Q5. You can actually get these on just the 2L TDI, and yet they are considerably better than the single piston sliding calipers that come on the S4 as standard.

Had exactly the same issues with the OEM sliding callipers. Q5 3.0 TDi 2017 Brembos on with 345mm discs and mintex pads = epic. No need to choose 320mm discs!

Thanks for sharing. I experienced the same terrible vibration slowing down from speeds above 100mph on the autobahn. I am now doing this change.

So close! They do look much better though! Plus, silver lining from all of the mess about of having to remove them again means that you can shotblast them and give them a lick of paint!

What model year Q5 are these from? They look as if they are 2013-2017?

Thanks for your S4 vids. Wish you'd been posting S4 vids a few years ago. Really helpful ...could you advise the part model numbers id need to look for the upgrade? and/or any compatibility info for brakes from other audi models?

Any idea when you will be putting them back on
