Great video, I ended up going the b9 s4 6 piston calipers with c7 a6 front rotors (354mm) simply Bc I managed to source some locally for under 600usd and a set of new rotors for also 90 usd. These are also a great option and ended up going this route Bc my left stock caliper actually seized. my car is stage 2+ but a daily driver as well so this serves as a nice middle ground as they still fit my stock 18 (very tightly) and 19 wheel setup

I’m glad I stumbled on this video as I’d like to upgrade the brakes (for aesthetic reasons) on my 2011 2.0TFSi Dynamik. I’ve been researching the Q7 Akebono calipers which seem to require a spacer to clear the disc. I don’t like the shape of the Macan calipers (yes I know - sounds daft) and the RS4 ones are killed by the price of the discs and pads.

Great video very informative. I am upgrading my 2012 A5 to SQ5 or A8 calipers and 380mm discs. Just to share some info you can run a 19" wheel with the 380mm disc. I found cross drilled and coated rotors w/ sport pads for $160.00 USD from performance braking in Van Nuys, California. Thought you might like to know. Of course shipping might be expensive but not as much as 400BPS. Cheers!

Have you seen the 6-pot caliper upgrade from a Porsche Macan? so the bigger discs, hubs, and everything. There is a post online I found with all the details online. It's expensive, you looking at about a grand for all the little bits and bobs, disc, pads, lines, ball joints, heat shields...... and that's before you get a pair of calipers. They look amazing but expensive. It also only goes from a 345mm disc to a 350mm one.

When making the video I looked at straight bolt on options as most don’t want to be the one to try a new option as can easily run into issues. The next upgrade from the macan 4 pots would be the Rs4/5 Big Brake’s and straight swap. I’ve not seen that 6 pot option but will have a little look as always interested into what others do.

If I buy the Porsche ones you when can I use my EBC pads I just bought or do I have to change them? They are 2 weeks old. I wanted the calipers red but seems the ones you have are black? The discs are 345mm I believe so was hoping to kee the pads as they weren’t cheap?

Hi! I'm from Portugal, I saw the video and found it very good, very explanatory, with excellent information and simple, the necessary to make myself understood. So I have two questions; first, I have an Audi A6 avant 2.0tdi ultra (190hp), c7.5, from the year 2016 and wanted to buy the Porsche Macan brake kit (4pot / 345mm), the same one that you put as an option in your video and the first question is whether it fits on 8.5j, et 30 or 35, r19 rims? Second question is whether you know if this kit comes with 340mm or 345mm discs and if it is 340mm if the calipers in question support 345mm discs (5x112)? Thank you very much and continue with videos like this.
