Phaeton front discs

Post by **prosty** » Tue Nov 24, 2009 5:56 pm

Hi!

I'm pretty new to this forum and I've read a few threads about putting phaeton TDI discs (360x34mm) fronts and they are a direct swap, is this accurate? from what I gathered when I read the specs on the phaetons is the offset isn't 100% accurate, can anyone confirm that they fit directly or do you have to modify anything to make them fit in the front?

As I have a good price on EBC brakes this would be a real goldmine for me considering VAG charges 800 quid for a new pair of fronts

I hope this thread isn't a duplicate one but I didn't see anyone confirming the fitment in the front, only that the rear fitment was a bit extra work.

They are a swap for the B7 RS4 disks but as the offset is different, you need to swap the bells from the old disks

I have these on my RS6 / B7 RS4 set up. I swapped over the bells from the B7 discs to fit the Phaeton ones - they are 365 mm not 360mm

Okay so you cannot use them for the b5?

Not with the standard setup, but they are an option for anyone with the B7 setup.

JHMotorosports also produce a replacement which uses the original bell from the B7 discs.

There is a 360mm version of that disk.

That was the one I meant, does that one fit

Not on a B5 standard setup, different offset I believe which is a bugger!!!!

If you want a more affordable disc replacement for the b5 RS4 have a look at DBA discs, there are a few posts about them if you do a search.

Thanks Don. Is there any supplier of rear discs too? DBA only had fronts

I have emailed DBA a million times, they don't ssem to be interested as I have not had a response! The uk importer told me to ask them directly as they have never come into the uk for the RS4!!
