Looking after a B7 RS4 for a friend that is no longer with us.
His mother thought she had sold the car to one of his supposed friends who turned out to be a scamming shyster and just used the car for a year, added 30,000k's and wore out a set of brakes.  Had an eye watering quote to replace the brakes and have decided to procure the parts off shore to soften the blow.

The problem I have is that our VIN numbers down here do not match the US VIN numbers so if anyone has been through this process and has the correct part numbers, that would be much appreciated.  Once I get the brakes sorted and the car tidied up, it will go on the market.

Thanks in advance.

A mate just bought some DBA T3 rotors from Ozi Car Parts and each rotor was $420ish delivered to Wellington.

Brembo pads and rotors are also significantly cheaper than OEM

Thanks McDoof, yep spent some time shopping around and looking at other options (including a Spanish brand) but ended up getting some Brembos locally from Partmaster.  Half the price of the stealership which is good, but still just over $4k all told.

Replaced 3 coil packs and got a fresh service and warrant so she'll be going on TM soon.
