Anyone know of any place with the zimmerman rear discs in stock?
Cannot seem to get both sides, only right hand side available at most places but no left.
cheers
Where to get rear brake discs?
Re: Where to get rear brake discs?
According to GSF they have both sides in for Zimmerman
Re: Where to get rear brake discs?
Yes they do but are over double the cost of other places -£480!
Re: Where to get rear brake discs?
Which other places?
Daytona RS6 C5 Avant. Viper'd, Billies, Waggers, MTM box brain, C6 stoppers, xcarlink, R8 coolant cap (woohoo)
///M3 E46 | XC90 (V8, natch) | Passat GTE | RR Classic V8 flapper

Re: Where to get rear brake discs?
I've still got some on my watch list on eBay. They're from Germany costing £438. But the pagids are not that much more at around £450 from carparts4less. I couldn't find them any cheaper when I was looking.

Re: Where to get rear brake discs?
You can get the AutoDoc app,their prices are pretty good with free shipping.Mine took about a week to arrive
Re: Where to get rear brake discs?
Thanks chaps for your help , there certainly does seem to be a massive gulf in price from one place to the next on these!
Many thanks stocky68
Just bought them from autodoc £375 for the pair .

Re: Where to get rear brake discs?
<beep> just realised I order one plain and one drilled! 
Been a long day.
Anyway they are £385 for the pair drilled or I think £10-£15 cheaper plain.

Re: Where to get rear brake discs?
Autodoc don't list the RS6. Do you have a part number for them? I suspect mine might need changing soon...
What alternatives are there that might involve small mods to the car eg if AP racing did some disks? They already do front ones. I'm hoping they might do rear ones as they're a bit silly money really.

Re: Where to get rear brake discs?
You could get used S6 C7 carriers (IIRC they had 356x22 rears) and matching ATE discs for dirt cheap.
Re: Where to get rear brake discs?
Thanks.
I wonder if any of these rear sets listed on EBC direct a good replacement without having to do any meddling?

Re: Where to get rear brake discs?
Probably not an issue for the rear, but if you put solid, non-floating disks on the front then you're asking for a cooked hub.

Re: Where to get rear brake discs?
Does the RS have floating rears as well as floating fronts then? If so, the AP ones which are designed to float would be ideal if the buggers did them for the rear...
Re: Where to get rear brake discs?
Yes, the standard 335x22 are floaty. Here are the ATE 356x22 (with standard rs6 carriers and callipers)

Part number is ATE 24.0122-0273.1, cost around 100 euros each, maybe even less.
