[urq] UrQuattro rear brakes

[qshipq at aol.com]

 v8/S4 rear brakes bolt on to the urq rear, with a change in the ebrake cable setup to a late 4kq.  The v8/urS4 brakes have:  Bigger calipers, larger pistons (43 vs 36), different carrier, and different (thicker&vented) rotor to be exact.

Now I remember where I heard that V8 brakes fit almost identically- just bibber
calipers.

V8 or UrS (C4 S-car) rears are identical, so you can source either. These rears 
tend to
have issues (eventually) with the parking brake cam, so some people do some 
extra prep
work to help protect that area from corrosion. Other than needing the later rear 
e-brake
setup, it's P&P.

I'd think you'd remember this, Ben- Scott put an S-car rear brake setup I had as
"spares" for my S6 on the famous/infamous "General Lee" for it's trip back to 
Chicago
after we discovered that the only rear brake components present on the car were 
one
hanger and one bolt ;-)

What substitutes can be used to replace and improve upon the original rear 
calipers and
rotors? I'm looking for a cost effective solution to replace my rear brake 
components.

I used 5000 turbo quattro calipers before, and I think 4000Q calipers are the 
same only
left is right and vice versa.

Do V8 quattro brakes work and have correct offset rotor?
