I am looking at this page on German Auto Parts; [http://www.germanautoparts.com/Audi/A4/Brake/157/6](http://www.germanautoparts.com/Audi/A4/Brake/157/6) I need to order rear brakes but am not sure what extra parts I need with it. Is this all I need: ![http://www.germanautoparts.com/images/7607a6e22425d46413534383936303b413/f](http://www.germanautoparts.com/images/7607a6e22425d46413534383936303b413/f) or do I need the brake pads the come with the bolts and retaining clips? ![http://www.germanautoparts.com/images/7607a6e28554456413534383936303b413/f](http://www.germanautoparts.com/images/7607a6e28554456413534383936303b413/f) ---

The second pic is a caliper rebuild kit I think. ---

I don’t see any of the usual piston rubber grommets that would be in a rebuild kit, that picture is also listed in the brake pad subcategory. ---

Jon, you shouldn’t need the bolts or the clips unless you snap a bolt or the clips are in really shitty shape. If it can wait until sunday I’ll be around then to give you a hand. Edit: your sig is a little bit out of date…now that I say that mine is too ---

You should just need the pads. The shims clean up with a wire brush easily. ---
