im going with rayland next as it will work out cheaper in the long run as you can just change the discs and not the bells and always hear good things about there stuff(unless i can get ceramics cheap before that!) could also try RB racing a few guys on the Facebook group running them and have had no problems. taroxs also do a set and EBC have just started to do a set too.
There was a big scandal with Reylands a few years back in the Clio scene when someone lifted a part number off a replacement two piece disc and it turned out to be a Euro car parts BMW X5 discs modified to fit their bells!

Thats another good tip thanks.

I have found this kit in Germany https://www.lott.de/en/i1227208h5m3395t16628 which could be a good deal as it includes Vat, assuming the polish one does not.

I'm pretty sure I've heard that the R8 standard and RS5 wavy disks fit our RS6s
They do, but the R8 disks are not side-specific. They use the same rotor on either side and I believe the right side runs "backward". Maximum cooling is probably less of an issue with the lighter, rear-engine setup. That said, I've been running R8 disks that I picked up cheap from someone upgrading their car. I have never had problems and even ran them on the track once with no issues.

EBC were asking for cars a few months back so they could work on a brake set up for the C5. I remember seeing pics of it in their workshop. Maybe worth giving them a call and seeing how far they have got with it ?

AP racing also do a disc and bell setup for the C5. I went with their C6 set (as I could get them cheaper and spaced the calipers out to suit (it's not ideal though) a caliper swap may be on the cards at some point.

Seems they got them for sale now..... Still not cheap though.... Floating 2 piece though....

Also no real world testing from anyone yet. I tend to always go by word of mouth.

Very similar price to Reyland for a similar looking product. Although they have listed them as fronts but it also shows 335mm diameter. If its £900 for some rears that is expensive!

I quite like the look of a pad and lines kit though. Has anyone tried the yellow stuff pads? For me it will be just for road use so do not need a track type pad.

I went for the Red Stuff ones - pretty much same braking as OEM but the compound is not producing so much brake dust

Great thanks, good info. Redstuff may be the ones then as its just a daily.

I have a query in with EBC to confirm what they have available but so far am not getting useful answers. Will update here if they come up with anything worth while.

The C6 are non directional, too.
Daytona RS6 C5 Avant. Viper'd, Billies, Waggers, MTM box brain, C6 stoppers, xcarlink, R8 coolant cap (woohoo)
///M3 E46 | XC90 (V8, natch) | Passat GTE | RR Classic V8 flapper
