Possible Group buy, whos interested in...(Brakes)

I'd be interested in 380mm Kit (Please advise on total cost / discount prior to placing order)

[SKG_C63AMG]

i could be interested in the 380mm kit, any idea of price on the kits and do we know if they do the rears also? cheers

Im interested too in the front discs.Few questions though. The standard rear ones are drilled whereas these are grooved, so won't the fronts look out of place (mismatch) ? Would we need to use a bigger pad size for the 380's? Or is pad size predetermined by caliper size? In which case is there no downside in using standard calipers on the 380s? If pad size is same as standard , thus contact surface with disc is same as with standard size disc , then how is there a benefit in using a bigger rotor? Otherwise I suppose the only downside to using larger rotors is u can't fit 18s in winter. Excuse the dumb/basic questions

You are putting on larger diameter discs and then spacing the calipers out slightly so you use standard pads, calipers etc. The improvement will come from the increase in leverage from the discs being a little further from the hub, there may be a cooling benefit as there is more disc area. Cosmetically they must look great & really fill the wheels, there is a weight saving over standard so I can see the appeal but for me I am going to stick to the std size.

those that are interested, Satans child has sent the email off to 034/jhm
just waiting on there really slow response.

apologies for any delays, but the ball is rolling

Would be interested as well in the 380mm kit & slotted rears if not too late.
Thanks

Still interested. But again, are peeps not bothered about the mismatch between fronts and rears ie front discs bein grooved and rears bein oem drilled? It seems to bother me , perhaps it shouldn't

[S4Player]

I have just the fronts on mine and tbh you don't notice the mismatch especially when your driving you can't see the brakes ! Coming off next week and going to a fellow forum member new ceramics for Monday woohoo

[Brooner]

what pads would you run with these?

[juice]

Brooner i would run Feroddo Ds2500 pads with these

ok quick update.

As i mentioned i needed to make my decision by Friday, well i have....I have secured myself some front discs from a very generous member...(will be on the car in about a week)
everyone else that is interested im still chasing up Jack for you guys. the problems not here, its the communication in the USA, its a bit slow...

if any problems or you have urgent enquires regard these then i would suggest to PM jack (satans child) on SRS

[P_G]

They are slow because they aren't interested in discounts. I asked when I was looking to buy fronts and rears plus other bits and no give at all.

Looks like I wil be sticking to plan A, ie to buy the phaeton discs. I take it one can buy the phaeton discs from any Audi dealer? If not, then from any Volkswagen dealer? I know stoke Audi sell them from Wat I've gathered from forums. If the oem from dealers is £550 a pair, then don't the likes of Philip walker sell the same oem ones a lot cheaper or any other indy?

[mac4RS]

With road tax and Geneva Motorshow to finance this month another £1k on top I don't have.

When are you going to Geneva Graeme?

[P_G]

Thursday and Friday; have stands passes for the important ones, Lambo, Ferrari and Pagani!
