allroad rear brake upgrade –
11-03-2013,01:20 PM
Hi all,
I am trying to put together an upgrade for my rear brakes on my 04 2.5tdi allroad, currently 255x10 solid disc (height48mm). I have ordered new calipers which are from an allroad 4.2 that takes a 22mm vented disc. I think that I can put a 269x22 vented set up which comes on the 4.2 allroad which uses carrier no. 4B0 615 425, my existing carrier is 8E0 615 425. However, If I can I would like to go a bit larger, possibly 280x22 vented.
my dilema is the carrier as these are expensive to experiment with, the A8/S8 uses a 280x22 rear and uses carrier 4B0 615 425 B and I don't know what that 'B' bit means, and the S8 disc which is 280x22 is 46.2 mm in height, and I don't know how significant the height is. The 4.2 allroad disc height is 47.9mm.
If someone could shine some light on these two queries for me I would be very grateful, and the I can post a write up if it goes to plan
Thankyou
