The machining for the ears has to be done for z17's as well? As for hardware I was not ready to pay 100+ for nuts and bolts, so found MAN truck propshaft has the size and grade what I needed, part numbers FE12327 and FE02140, for the bushings I used brass pipe OD16mm ID 14mm and just cut to size.
That’s good info! I figured by the time I found the info and went to the hardware store it would be worth $100. Regarding machining for 17z it just depends on the rotor you use … likely needs some mods even if using stock rotor
Hi , great video thanks. I will be trying to fit 18z calipers on my A4 B7 (2005) Avant. Is it pretty much the same process ? 245mm X 32mm Mercedes discs and shaving the ears of the calipers ? Or is mine slightly different? Thanks Oh and what Merc were the discs meant to fit ? Stu
I bought the rotors based on the spec so not sure which Benz they are for - you’ll want to find out the rotor hat height for your stock rotors and then get a rotor with a few mills of that - I’d check rotor lab site to see if they have a recommended rotor - I night these www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00PWGQORU?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image
The Oettinger are ET 35 offset, I’m using a 20mm spacer in the rear to get a flush fit, I’d run a spacer up front for better fitment but spacers I have are for a different wheel set up
I’m debating tearing mine down and rebuilding them - a few of my bolts are broken at the head or stripped out. I’ve heard of this issue with Oettinger, seems odd as I have two other sets of Ronal made wheels with Titan bolts and no such issues
im wanting to do this to my c5 s6.. prob use jhm rotors for weight and not having to grind the calipers. My hold up is wheels. Have 18" two piece bbs rs-gt and im not sure theyll fit in there. any way you could measure the setups overall size with the rotor on there? see if the numbers work for these bbs before i pull the trigger. And, how do they feel when driving?
I’d be happy to make a measurement are you looking for diameter conflict with the barrel or caliper conflict with spoke?- What is the offset of your BBS? My Oettinger wheels are 35 ET. Pedal feel is similar to stock brakes but stopping is much better, I’ve not done any Canyon runs yet… also I will bleed my brakes again to see if the pedal feel is gets more firm
@@AutoAfflicted yup, barrel conflict is why i ask. wheels are 32 ET and will prob space them to like 25 ET all said and done. just worried id get it all together and they don't clear. stoked they feel good for ya!
Rear has slotted drilled brembo rotors and upgraded pads. You can upgrade rears with Brembo calipers as well but then I believe you have to add an ebrake solution

The bleed nipple should be at the top
Welcome. What diameter are the brake discs and what is their width?
After replacing the brake discs what is the diameter of the rims? 19' are there 20'?
alloy wheels 19' 20'
The rotors are 345x32mm. They fit under most alloy 18in wheels - In this video I put 19s on the car but my winter wheels are 18s
Nice work!!
Good info!
Had to share 🙏🏼
I see why they say use MK4 R32 Rotors. 330MMx32MM for the 17z and 345x32MM for the 18Z
What is the bolt pattern for vw mk4 r32?
@@AutoAfflicted5x100 so you’d be looking for 330mx32 5x100 in a 5 lug bolt pattern just gotta make sure it’s native to the MK4 R32
Does this fit 2008 Audi a4 b7 models?
B7 models yes - you can reference the rotor labs link I the description to look up rotors that work for that application

You running spacers on your Oettingers to fit? I have those same wheels and looking to do this on my mk5
The Oettinger are ET 35 offset, I’m using a 20mm spacer in the rear to get a flush fit, I’d run a spacer up front for better fitment but spacers I have are for a different wheel set up
@@AutoAfflicted thanks mans! They look great btw. I was lucky to find my set a few years back

17z weight?
🤣 17z is the caliper designation
So the 17z go straight on a C5? Or do they need maschining and hardware too?

@jamesewing9037 I can fit my 18s over them, as long as you don’t have a balance weight conflict you should have no issues
What about the rear ?

“If your building a tesla it’s whatever” These are words to live by
This guys looks like me.. its fkn weird. My face has grease marks.. arms and legs all black from wrenching.. lol keep at it mate!
Happens from time to time, that’s a lot of caliper dust probably
flip the brake fluid bleeder

I think he flipped them right side up before the video ended.

You need the hardware for sure, I can’t say if they modification or not as I’ve not done it.. people say they “bolt up”
Is at some stage you try them on let me know@@AutoAfflicted
@michaln5540 check out the rotor labs link in the description of this video, it may detail what is needed for 17 Z set up
They need to be machined to offset them correctly
