Hi, Yes seen them too. I would think they are the same size but are not floating discs as the originals but one piece. Depends also if they are the same spec of metal for quality of braking. There is also the issue of fitting a part that does not match the manufacturer's spec. Brian

The ones I see on there are 245mm rears...which are too small. Genuine discs on the rear are 312mm

totally wrong for RS4. I did email them to tell them, but they've obviously not done anything about it...
