They all make up the prices and discounts as they go along. Only way to compare is at the checkout stage.

Hi all I've been looking at the rsq3 brake disc as they are the same size and thickness and same hub size but the discs for the rsq3 are a lot cheaper than rs6 c5 after market ones. Has anyone on the forum tried to fit these on a rs6 c5? Just a thought 💭

All depends on the hat depth.

Checked all specs as they use same brembo brake system as the c5. just the rear ones are smaller than Rs6
The only difference I can see is shark fin on rsq3 rather than straight cut. The oem parts for the rsq3 is only £445 x2 with pads bargin

RSQ3 front disks look like they are 390mm instead of 365, but they could be a good candidate for a big brake upgrade with C6 calipers. Maybe even the RSQ3 calipers, but I don't know anything about those.

Pagid catalogue says 390, but it could be wrong.
