Why are te rear discs more expensive?
R.

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

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

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

But are there any alternatives?

No alternatives to OEM ones.

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

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

Dave

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

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.
R.

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

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

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

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
