Default What rears go best w/B5 S4 front brakes?
i'm about to put some B5 S4 front brakes on my B6 1.8TQM and was wondering what rears would be the best match for this setup.

upgrade pads to Hawk HPS and some good fresh fluid should be enough

you won't feel a difference in normal street driving regardless of pad type used

Default B6 S4 rears, VAG is the only brand out there with tiny rears
good rears balance the nose dive and improves all around.

Default FYI, with the exception of the S4 rear discs being vented, they're otherwise identical brakes
Caliper, rotor size, pads, etc. So, you're fine. Upgrade your pads and fluid as others have said.
