Anyone made the switch to w12 discs?

Guys & girls,

I'm unfortunately at the point of new discs and wondered if any of you have actually tried the w12 phaeton discs and could shed a little light onto their performance?

Understandably the aesthetic is one point but also performance still has queries around it for me...

Other threads on here seemed to have transitioned into a "try ceramic or loba/AP" so really just keen to see about some personal experience on the w12 disc.

The phaeton rotors perform perfectly. I actually prefer them over the OE b7 rs4 rotors.

I have now changed over from the phaeton's to the 380mm girodisc rotors.

I don't suppose you could either pm or jot down here where you got the rotors for Each?

I can't seem to find any with rotor only....!

Cheers mate

Depending on how you drive, you may or may not notice a difference,. They may be favourable under day to day driving in terms of NVH but you'll theoretically notice that they won't be performing as well as soon as heat becomes an issue..
