Fitting my S6 brakes

[Stevie Wonder]

Well, after many months of them collecting dust I’ll be doing my brakes tomorrow.


I’ve upgraded my rear brake lines this morning and am all set now to do the fronts in the morning.


I’ve got the following:

• Zimmerman 400mm two piece discs - alloy centre bell
• Ferodo brake pads (part no. FDB 4468)
• Stainless braided lines (made at Silicon Hose Suppliers | Industry Equipment | Silicon Hoses)
• S6/C7 Brembo 6 piston callipers (4G0-615-105-AS & 4G0-615-106-AS)

The braided lines from 404 Not Found are 100% stainless steel, unlike most company’s which use zinc plating for the hose braiding and stainless end fittings - I’ve just these on all of my cars over the last 15 years and they’ve been absolutely flawless.

The tape is still inside the calliper covering the pistons hence the sh!++y appearance - not that you’ll see it once the pads are in anyway.

Fitted pics to follow 👍🏻

P.S.
I will be selling my old Brembo 4 pots/345mm discs and (6months old/4K mileage) EBC yellow stuff pads soon - I’m open to sensible offers.

Unfortunately I didn’t take any images during the fitment stage as I was just too busy getting it done, however what I can say is this: what an easy and straight forward swap this was!
bolt off and bolt on, it really was that simple.
Once I get chance to give the car a good wash I’ll take some proper daylight photos.
Brakes have got about 30 miles on them and they’re starting to bed in very nicely, a slight press on the pedal and the power from them feels amazing. The old Brembos were good, but these feel in a different league.
