Am i right in thinking the rear discs on the facelift are vented and if so are the calipers and discs a straight swap.

Is it worth it? Yet to cook my rears, despite trying. Managed to have the fronts catch fire a few times though ::)

2001 model year onwards only and V6 only.....and yes, the calipers are different.

Upgrade for a reason.....why, look at the back of most Audis with twin tailpipes on turbo cars (diesel and petrols)........no reason for it at all.

Fair point.

But if I bought some calipers for the vented discs and vented discs would they fit my hubs?
