RS6 C6 V10 Uprated Brake lines / Hoses kits

Post by grahamh84 » Wed Jun 05, 2019 1:08 pm

Hey

Anyone found supplier/brand of uprated Brake lines / Hoses kits to replace the standard Audi ones - Goodridge say they will do some but it requires me supplying the originals off my car or buying some Audi originals and shipping them but cant then return them back to Audi for a refund once parts are made

Current setup is AP Racing discs - Ferodo DS2500 pads front and rear - (Supplied by Clark MotorSport)

Current Audi ones have perished with the heat

As Weiß-sechs said, HEL do replacement front and rear brake lines for the RS6 - I have a set fitted to mine but I also changed the pads and discs (same as yours) and fluid (ATE Superblue) all at the same time so I can't say how the pedal feel improved specifically from just those lines but I know that setup did 45+ 160mph to 30mph stops on a trackday at Bruntingthorpe without fading once and had done several other track-days without issue.

That's impressive performance stopping 2 tonnes plus.

Hel are better protected tube, and better quality material unions.

Had mine 4.5 yrs or so on the C6, no problems.

Pre made too, for the C6.

Quick check....i note the HEL hoses are stated for Avant. I have the saloon model, i assume the brake hoses will fit both Avant & Saloon....but can anyone confirm 100% before i buy them?

Cheers
Roy
