RS4 Disc Alternatives

Post by stumpyrs4 » Mon Sep 07, 2009 12:39 pm

Hi

AM looking into some replacement front brake discs. Does anyone know whether the Jag XKR Brembo option discs will fit?

They're 355mm dia (drilled).
They have 12mm dia holes, so I believe bneed drilling out to 14mm(?) - is this ok to do?
And the offset dimension from back of hub plate to back of disc is 40mm.

Reason for asking is that I'm swapping calipers for some Cayenne 6-pots, which need discs c350-356mm dia...


Thanks for speedy responses if possible, plus any alternative recommendations.

Thanks

Nice hijack !

About the right price too, as I paid £220 each for mine... (although mine have pads included)...

Jag whels have a different PCD 5x 108 normally whereas Audi is 5 x 112 so drilling out the holes would not work. You could maybe drill a new set of holes I did this on an impreza STI disc. I went from 5 x 112.3 to a set od 5 x 100.

Also the off set is almost certain to be different on the jag discs i.e more towrds the suspension or futher out. But thiscan besorted wih spacers and brackets but soon the cost will exceed the saving!
