5 lug conversion question!
ok I have a S4 4 lug car ans i am doing the 5 lug conversion from an S4 GXL. I am all set with the fronts, that is easy. For the rear I wanted to know if my single piston calipers from the 4 lug car are the same as the ones off the 5 lug car with vented rears. 
I know they both used a single piston design i just don't know if i need to use S5 brackets or calipers or am i all set?

they are slightly Different.I
If you use the 4 lug caliper then the rotor will hit the caliper.
Get the Single piston Caliper for VENTED brakes,and use the five lug Vented rotors(Not the solid rotors) with the five lug Hub/control arm assembly.
Note:look up some of my Posts.I have done this conversion a Number of times..maybe five..and I have some info posted.
