DTM brake problems

Post by nicp2007 » Wed Feb 25, 2015 12:49 am

Hi guys

I know it's not a S or RS but hopefully you can help?


I am currently replacing all my brakes on the dtm.
But I keep getting sent the wrong parts

It's got S4 front brakes and they were easy enough and came correct first time.

The rear brakes were ordered using my reg details and were too small. The disks were 280mm and I'm pretty sure mine are 300. Plus the pads were too small too.

So today I ordered S3 rears and the pads seem to be correct now but the disks are vented where as mine are solid.

Any advice on what brakes I should order next???


Thanks

Have you tried Audi? They should be able to get the right ones from your chassis number. How about Stoke Audi? They are the cheapest place for RS brakes so might be able to get a good price for yours too.
Or look at the part number on the disc. Pretty sure they have the part number stamped on them but not sure if you need to remove the disc t osee it.

Problem is the disks are completely ruined and rusted etc so not much chance of seeing the part number.

I'll try Audi in the morning.

The other thing is the car has had a lot of upgrades etc by the previous owner so it's possible the brakes are from something all together different
