1994 S4 front calipers

[Kenekster]

Hi guy's

 

Quick query, I have seen comment the standard front calipers are infact from a Toyota Supra mA61. Is that correct ? Before I get reconditioned ones from Budweg.

 

Thanks in advance, cheers.

The earlier S4's were a Toyota caliper. My S4 is a late '94 model and has the Brembo front calipers. I have seen comments from other owners that the Toyota calipers aren't much chop.

 

Are you looking to put them on your Excel (can you even do that?) or have you got an S4 as well?

Hello,

 

I bought an S4 3 year's ago this month, I don't think they are Brembo calipers, it is a 1994 car but perhaps early in the year. I just want to replace like for like for now, the front left began sticking and was virtually seized on the hinge pin.

I don't think it has seen any maintenance from when it was fitted to the car, even athough the car has a full Lotus service history !! ?

 

I still have my Excel, as it has been quite well behaved I thought I'd treat myself to the S4. Thanks for any advice/ help

If it's big swing/sliding pin then it's the Toyota ones, same as the Excel caliper.
