Sold

I've still got the standard exhaust from my RS4 in my garage and looking to make some space. It was taken from my 2007 RS4 Avant and is in pretty good condition with chrome tailpipes and fully functional valves. Due to the size of this it will need to be collected from Lincoln. I'd be happy for Β£100...

I use Adrian Flux who always give a good quote. No issues with my mods, although not supercharged.

Re: Rear brake disc options

Hi Andy, They have been good although I haven't had chance to test them as of yet, just typical Road use (maybe sometimes a little fast road). I work out of the country so have only covered about 200 miles with them on so far. I'm happy with them in terms of performance and looks. I believe they wer...

Cheers Sam

I know he had loads done to the car during his ownership and will check it all over when I get home. Whether I will want to sell when I get home is a different matter as I love driving it.

Re: 2007 Daytona Grey RS4 Avant + Ceramics/SS+/MRC stage 2

Chris, I have no idea of mileage for the rotors although I have heard that they are good for the life of the car, dependant on use, condition and thickness. The pads were replaced after covering nearly 40k and still had some meat on them. I think prices of around Β£2k per disc for the rotors and then...

Re: Rear brake disc options

David,
I don't know the exact measurements but I haven't noticed any difference, there may be 1mm or so. If it's a concern I would email Tarox who I'm sure will give exact specs.

Re: Rear brake disc options

Looks great, are the Tarox zinc plated? Wonder are they lighter than OEM discs? My rear discs would be due for replacement soon. My fronts are AP OEM replacement discs, which are drilled and not zinc plated. Unfortunately AP is not making a rear OEM replacement disc. It is not easy to find a matchi...

Re: Rear brake disc options

I did consider the JHM option. All work out pretty much the same price after you consider VAT and import duty on the JHM ones.
I thought the Tarox discs matched nicely with the ceramic fronts so went with that option.

Re: Rear brake disc options

They work out at Β£688.80 delivered or something like that from Tarox UK. Somewhere else was doing them with free delivery but decided to go direct, can't think where it was now.
Cheers, Daytona looks great, especially when it's clean. She will get a wax at the weekend before I go to work.

Re: Rear brake disc options

I managed to get around to putting them on today, look great and a much needed replacement for the standard discs which have seen better days. Still to see how they perform with the Brembo pads. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v626/alexoakes/RS4/20160922_161937_zpskrcdcvy6.jpg http://img.photobuck...
