Why are te rear discs more expensive?
R.

[ecain63]

Because its Audi, most likely. Nothing should be assumed when pricing audi spares.

Phone Grizz at Unit 20. He'll sort you out.

[CliveH]

Surely not??! They're smaller to start with

But are there any alternatives?

[ecain63]

No alternatives to OEM ones.

[CliveH]

Nothing from the Phaeton range?

I assume you're comparing with prices for the fronts, in which case you're mistaken, the rears are cheaper. However, non-drilled are considerably cheaper than drilled for fronts and rears.

yes Phaeton rears work, had them on my old RS 6. £75 a disc direct from VW

[Daveperc]

The Phaeton rears (undrilled) are cheaper (why???) and fit straight in I believe. Check with Grizz or MRC

Dave

[HYFR]

not a straight fit, needs a small spacer on the bolts I believe
Grizz fit mine

[rol]

I have just bought non drilled front discs 315 pounds for the pair delivered but got quoted 500pounds for the rear pair of the same company.

[Daveperc]

Front price sounds about right, but I suspect that dealer has quoted for two pairs on rear.

Try DSGWagen in Doncaster - they are usually pretty low cost, or of course give Grizz or MRC a call.

I have a feeling the Phaeton ones were really cheap (?£68/disk?) so even with the extra cost of a spacer or two, may be the way to go. DK - how much was the whole set up??

Dave

[HYFR]

it didnt cost any more for a spacer, im not talking about a spacer you'd put on a wheel, i think it was a spacer for the bolt...

they cost me £75 inc vat each from VW grizz just charged labour to fit

[Golffather]

The RS6 non-drilled discs aren't that much more than the Phaeton rears IIRC

[Daveperc]

Spacer as in washer (to make bolt shorter) or sleeve (to make bolt bigger)??

Certainly sounds like the way to go - though they aren't drilled of course

yes thats the one, though not sure which (prob washer)

they can prob be had cheaper from non VW dealer, I tried GSF at the time but they were useless
