I'm looking to replace the front discs soon as well. The jhm or reyland option certainly sounds a good deal. From people's experience how easily do the old discs unbolt from the original mounting bell ? The bolts on mine look quite rusty.

I replaced mine 2 years ago, the bolts on the bells came off very easily. Just make sure when installing them onto the new rotors that you use the correct torque as recommended by the manufacturer and also to tighten them in the correct pattern as to not warp the rotors.

Did you use new bolts when installing the new discs?

Why not just buy new discs and bells from EBC for £450 and save yourself the hassle?

Didn't think ebc listed discs for them?

Sorry, I meant ECP!!

If you send your bells to reyland they will mount your new rotors free of charge, its on their website, probably have to pay for new nuts and bolts though

Currently £516 with code sale55

Personally I’d rather save the extra £100 and do the swap myself, there is nothing wrong with the bells, seems a waste just to bin them, it’s not even a bad job. JHM supplies all new fixings and the old nuts and bolts come off easy. I would imagine Reyland would supply new fixings with there rotors.

^ just spoke to them actually. Really helpful outfit. They do fit the stock hats so a good replacement. They can also do a similar two piece rear set up as the original is one piece. They can grove rears to match the fronts, but as the stock ones are drilled that probably won’t work in this instance.

Did they say how much the rear kit is? I quite fancy the reyland fronts but want the rears to match

They didn’t mate. Worth a call to them though as not everything is on their website.

Thank, i’ll give them a call tomorrow, looking on their website and comparing prices to other rear discs they do i dont think it would be that bad, similar size rotor and bells are around £500 with the rotors on their own being around £275, should come in under a set of standard rears. Just need to decide on which grooves to get

If anyones interested, Ive a set of brembo discs that I bought from ECP when i still had the RS4, just havent got round to selling them yet. Paid a little over 500 if I remember correctly and would take the same now.
