Now before everyone shouts SEARCH, i've spent a lot of time searching and most of what i've found relates to FBs.

I am putting a S5 in my SA and am now not sure what to do with the brakes.
My first thought was to find FB struts and buy the kit to use FC brakes but now I am thinking of completly overhauling the existing system, replacing the rotors and getting quality pads.

I would also like to end up with a 4x114.3 pattern. I did read that the SA spindle is weak, is this so?

Any thoughts or feedback would be appriciated.

 

To wind up with the 4X114.3 pattern you need to do a complete SE swap. That includes the rear end assembly from axle to axle.

 

To improve your searchng skills, use the terms sa brakes. I found 2 threads in a minute. There are probably alot more but you will have to do that search yourself.:-)

Those will supply with some of the information.

 

Thanks

I have read those threads.

Forget the upgrade there are many threads on that.

Does anyone have an opion or experience with the stock brakes?

 

? In one of the 2 threads that I supplied a member specifically gives his opinion as far as the original brakes goes.
