Ah ! They have changed massively then since I last looked into them. Looks like most of them are Road legal these days. And looks like they have dozens of different pads now instead of just a handful. They have come a long way !

Hi guys,
Does anyone know if the calapers of a C6 RS6 will bolt straight on using the C5 RS6 rotors?

Thanks,
Greg.

So I need to use the rotors as well. Any spacers needed on the calapers or just the one spacer on the rotor?

The hat on the C5 disk is much deeper than the C6 disk so you need spacers to bring the calipers further out IIRC.
