Default vendors: AP racing brake kit available for S4?
Are any of the vendors here selling or able to put together an AP racing brake kit for the B8 platform?

Check out Stillen.com. They have a 6-piston front and 4-piston rear kit available from AP. Both are just over $3k each.

The rear kit will delete our EPB though.

Yup.... I would not personally do the rear kit for this reason, but I would consider the front kit. It would also likely require 19" wheels in most cases.

Thanks! Stillen does have it for $3125. Brembo is running about $4200. This seems like a better deal. I wonder if I can get good pads.

you can keep the epb by having two calipers on the rear, the stock one and the new one. Theres a few people who have done it on audis. there is one guy on audisrs who did it with his movit ceramics on an audi rs6.

Two calipers? That would upset the brake bias would it not?
