The risk you face by paying and then waiting, is that there is roughly a 35day period to be able to raise with flea bay that you've not received your goods and they will support refunding you etc.... but after that 35 day period, you're fooked. if the guy never send you the parts, you've lost your shilling. Personally, I would only pay once in stock and confident that goods on the way shortly.

TPS are worth a shout - Some branches are more willing than others to supply members of the public, but definately worth a call

I have now ordered a complete rear brake set (discs,pads,clips) from: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/310341291915? ... 1439.l2649

Guy will not communicate in english but thank to the google translator we closed the deal, I only had to pay him additional 30 EUR as the shipping to the UK cost 45EUR (15 EUR as on ebay, 30EUR I had to add as a surcharge).
Item now marked as dispatched, including GLS tracking number.
Looks good, I can't wait as my rear brakes squeak like a strangled rat.
The whole set approx £420.

I think he sells drilled ones, check his ebay shop. It is all in german though, if you fill "RS6" in the shop search field, you should be able to find drilled ones.

I prefer solid disks. I hesitated with the rears because the C6 disks are all drilled. In the end i went for the solid ones anyway. Function before form.

Hi guys, a quick update, my rear brake set now sitting in the garage, all nicely packed. Took 4 days to deliver from Germany,not bad.
I had bit of a shock when opened the cardboard box as inside were two painted boxes with drilled discs pictures on them, so I thought what the hell, I've orderd non-drilled, but inside were two non-drilled Zimmerman discs sitting...Relief...Only the wrong boxes used.

Hope they'll fit OK!

Tbh that's a fair point, I don't need them...it's just got them all round so I thought I'd get drilled.

That's what I've done, they are huge.

You can get Pagid rear drilled discs from Euro Car Parts delivered for £339 currently with their 31% off offer, non drilled rear will be even cheaper. If their Pagid discs are anything like their Pagid pads, they're better avoided though.
