Brake Discs

[bam_bam]

Hmmm, no idea. What an odd question and I'm not sure why you'd wanna know, unless you were keen to deliver a set of RS6 discs through a letter-box, or maybe a cat-flap. I'm intrigued Mule, what for do you want to know?

Same principle behind getting the phaeton discs to work on the rear. If the height can be rectified with washers, similar to spacers to correct the ET of a wheel, perhaps the phaeton fronts will also work? EBC do some good looking dimpled and groved phaeton discs for a 1/4 of the price. Hubs look pretty well vented too for heat dissipation to protect wheel bearings.

Grizz would be the man but it might be a little close to his bread and butter.

More inclined to just buy a pair and see if i can make them fit. No rush though, plenty of meat left on mine yet...

Diameter is height, I was sitting here thinking why would you measure height of a circle... that's diameter. Stop dragging me down to your level Mule!!!

[HYFR]

lol this cracked me up

[mrmule]

Diameter is diameter to me. Your diagram suggests the same too. Anyhoo you get me now though right...

I can just picture Shopinit shuddering at the thought of anything other than OE discs on his motor...

No. I don't really get it but it is funny.



Height is the diameter. Do you mean the 'height' from the axle to the caliper position? That could be thought of as radius...
Stop trying to create misdirection by dragging Shopinit into this Mule, take your medicine.

Would girth have been a more familiar term?!

[bam_bam]

Why do I feel like I'm in a kindergarten geometry lesson?

[iR8V10]

Breadth?
Span?
Thickness LOL>?

[mrmule]

Goddammit!!! I thought the Et of a wheel was a good enough analogy!! You're thinking in the wrong dimension of the disc...

Ok, imagine laying a disc flat on the ground. How tall does the wheel face plate of the disc sit above the ground? I.e. Height!!

[bam_bam]

Ahhhh, disc off set... Why didn't you just say?
Height when disc is laying flat!?!? How the hell were we meant to read your mind on that one? Geez!

According to "StumpyRS4" the W12 Phaeton front discs are the same offset as C5 RS. Problem is, the bell might be slightly different, looks very similar to me, not that would mean anything. PM Stumpy, see what he says. Stumpy is an Audi Addict... if you know what I mean.

I don't really see the point. Usual thinking is that you try to improve the braking on sports cars if you can, not make it worse
