S4 Single Piston Brake Calipers, Different 4 and 5 Lug Question

If this is in a thread out there I apologize. I did attempt to seach for it...

Does anyone know if the single piston front calipers are the same between the 4 and 5 lug cars that came with them? I am attempting to sell my old sets and need to know for compatibility purposes. I don't want to screw over anyone that buys them. I have the same question on the rears too.


Thanks for your time,

jason

They have different part numbers for the single piston front brakes calipers and rotors based on series, so I would say, yes, they are different.

The S5 single piston front brakes use the same rotor as the 4 piston front brakes though, if that helps.

Do you know about within the same series though? I am looking to find out if for an S4 4-lug the front single piston caliper is the same as for an S4 5-lug with single piston.

Watch this turn out to be a hugely stupid question if someone replies that S4s with single piston front brakes did not come on models with 5-lugs. Oh well, at least if I look stupid I will find out my answer. Heh...


Thanks,

jason

They didn't make a S4 with 5 lug single piston front brakes.

All the S4 models were either 4 lug single piston front brakes or 5 lug 4 piston front brakes.
