£1000 discs!?

[Capt Ric]

Could go with these cheaper than Audi and future replacements would be alot cheaper. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audi-RS6-C5- ... .l4275.c10

Has anyone tried any of these?

Reyland Motorsport 380MM floating 2 part ?

Also considering EBC 365 floating 2 part https://www.demon-tweeks.com/uk/ebc-bra ... bcsg2f010/

& similar 365 AP racing floating 2 part

Brembo HP2000 pads seem a good compromise ( good feedback on Nissan GTR forum) , Ferodo DS2500 probably more than I need and dubiout legality.
EBC yellows / blue cheap with their discs , had them last time, were ok, but not as good a current girodic magic (USA) pads.

What’s wrong with the Zimmermanns?

Nothing, but fancy a change and maybe 2 piece would give less shudder, although that may be due to not using them hard enough!

I just fitted Zimmermans 4 weeks ago. So I am sure they are still available.
Not had any problems at all with them.
Also replaced the calipers with phaeton at the same time.

Ric. Haven’t had any shuddering at all.
Didn’t have any shuddering with my old ones either.

I've had 2 sets on the front now and both sets have warped. I don't drive particularly hard either. They have always been drilled though, so not going with that option next time, but almost certainly going to look at some 2 piece floating jobs which are meant to be far less prone to warping.

Whats the deal with the Phaeton calipers, are they an upgrade or just an alternative if you cant find C5 Brembos?

Have you tried cleaning out the drilled holes? Sometimes they can clog and give you feedback through the pedal

Foxmeister. Phaeton front calipers were recommended to me by unit 20. Still 8 pot but a lot cheaper. And a straight swop. No mods required.
Very Impressed with them.
Kept the original calipers as I intend to have them refurbished at some point. So I have a spare set for the future.
The bleed nipple threads in the calipers need replacing.

Good to know, cheers Steve
