RS246.com Forum :: The World's #1 Audi R, S and RS Enthusiast Community

I've been looking around the web for parts suppliers and there seem to be two types of rear brake disc listed for the RS6.

The first is this one:
http://www.gsfcarparts.com/603vg0700
£252.00.

The second is this one:
http://www.gsfcarparts.com/603vg0022
£23.40.

Now I can see from the info that the second one has completely different dimensions and it's solid rather than vented; it looks like it's not even suitable for the RS6. If that's true why do so many supplier sites list both when searching for discs for an RS6.

The disc in the second link isn't the right one, must be for another Audi model.

Thanks Amar. That seems to be the case, even though I searched by registration.

Are there any alternatives to the OEM discs or are they as good as you can get?

there's also Zimmerman, but the price is close to the OEM one...

Check Euro Car Parts and use the SRS discount code.

Did you get some from ECP in the end Amar? I thought they had problems with stock etc..

Nope, I went genuine Audi. Not going to go OE again.

They're showing one of each pair of drilled and non-drilled in stock. Useful.

Cheers for the heads-up on the discount code Amar. Didn't know about that.

Are you looking for plain or drilled? I might be able to help.

Hello Rob.

I try not to brake late or hard so plain would probably be more than adequate especially for the rears.

Unless anyone who knows more than I do can give me a reason why I should go for drilled...

No, I prefer plain. The only reason you would put drilled on the rears is for aesthetics.

Thanks.

Would you put drilled on the fronts?

No, I would prefer plains. But I don't have the choice with the C6 brakes.

Thanks.

I *think* I've got drilled fronts on the E55 but I really don't know. I haven't looked that closely.

I have no preference either way; as I said I try not to brake hard or late so I was thinking that the drilled ones would probably be wasted on me.
