Akebono (S)Q7 brake caliper on BiTDI

[TommyMaul]

Hey,
greets from Germany. I’am Tommy and i drive an A6 C7 Facelift with 326hp. My problem is the original front brake. I want to upgrade my brake to the 400x38 Version.

Its possible to use the Akebono SQ7 caliper?

✌🏻

No idea, but I have just emailed their site.

[TommyMaul]

what?

[rjwojcik]

what?

There's nothing on their site to where you can buy the callipers from and the technical specs of the caliper. All I can see is that they do three types of calliper. Also, no prices.

Dark Side Developments in the UK installed a set of SQ7 Akebonos to their C7 biTDI project car. I think there is a video on their youtube channel about it

They did and there is a you tube on it, which has been posted in a previous post in this thread. They had to machine the caliper brackets to get them to fit their wheels.

Hello,
i have a few of new informations. The new S6 4K TDI (yes, in Germany the S6 are a TDI). have the same brake callipers like the SQ7: 4N0 615 107 AG and 4N0 615 108 AG .
also with 400x38 disks 4M0 615 301 BF but i dont can get some informations about the high of the brake disks. We remember the SQ7 Disc are 57,4mm high and the S6 4G disc are 52,4mm high.

AND i found someone how did the brake Change with SQ7 Callipers and S6 4G Discs in Germany. here a few pictures. Unfortunately the person dont change the brake system by himself. It was build by a mechanic in Poland so the Person don´t have Informations for me.

Its possible you have to remove a few mm material from the caliper holder at the lower screw. Between the holder and the caliper you have to ad 11mm high spacers. I used the S6 4G Brake Disks.

Scusate se scrivo qui non vorrei essere fuori tema, ma volevo chiedervi se anche le pinze q7 4M0615105AS con disco 375mm, si possono montare allo stesso modo o occorrono fare altre modifiche.
