Default Alcon Ap or any other good brake companies
Do any of these companies produce a 6 or 8 piston brake kit for the a4? I saw a Tar Ox setup a long time ago but cant remember what company sold it
lltek sells an 8 piston kit but im not too sure about it anyone run it yet?

I highly recommend Brembo/Porsche brakes. Movits are nice, so are Stoptechs. The P-car brakes can be done very inexpensively...

Default Alcon has a 6P kit for the S4....
but I'm guessing it might not bolt up to the A4

Default Query: Don't those brakes all use the same Porsche-style pads? What's different . . .
on the Stoptech retaining pins?

Default Re: rear 2 piston setup -- Alcon R-type ?
What did you do for a parking brake, or are you going without?

Default Eh? Floating? Opposed-piston calipers are fixed. Rotors can be "floating" type...
The "floating" type caliper use slides/guide pins, and the piston housing actually moves.

At least that is my understanding of it.
