okay so i apparently have the 4 pot calipers on the front brakes (which i didn;t know because i disn't actually check until recently...i know....stupid) and i need to check to see if the people who had it before me got the calipers for the vented rears with em. the rotors aren't stock anymore so i can't look at them. any one have pics of an stock tII s5 brake setup so i can do i visual on them? or is there an easier way to tell without trial and error of two different rear rotors? only reason i am asking is because she needs new pads and the rotors are pretty old too so i figured why not just go all the way and do it all now! anyways thanks for the help

 

what kinda car is it?

If its tII or anything above base model you will be good for vented rears. But if it had 4 pots and it is stock then you will prolly need vented... also if there are vented rears, then you need vented.

 

s5 had solid rear rotors...... s4 had vented rears. Please correct me if I am wrong!!!

 

S5 with sport suspension/Turbo had 4 piston vented front, and vented rear.

 

yes if you look at the FAQ on the cars it will tell you everything I believe.

 

Why can't you look at the the current brake rotor? Even if its not orginal.. you can easly identify it as being vented or solid.

 

Kinda my point in first response... looking at current system would tell you what to do.

 

okay wait let me clarify...this is a gtu i am talking about. it only came with one piston calipers front and rear. sorry for the confusion. so someone switched the fronts, i can tell that but the rears i dunno... thanks again!
