Do you get a bracket to move the caliper out with the kit ,or did you have to get that fabricated thanks Jon

all came as a kit, there are other threads about the kit, ianh755 made some threads.

My thread used a different caliper by AP Racing so my particular bracket wouldn't fit the OEM caliper. However it's good to see that there's only a very small unswept area on the 410mm discs using the OEM caliper/pads, say 5mm at most, which means swapping from OEM isn't really necessary which is a bonus as the OEM Brembo calipers are bloody good!

yeah, mine's oem calipers and bracket, just slighter longer bolts in the kit.

pheaton mod back plate still fits, and no addition to my insurance.

well pleased.

I've just done almost exactly the same to mine;

410 front, 356 rear with brembo "H" floating discs, stock caliper but with spacers/longer bolts on the front to fit the 410mm discs
HEL lines,front and rear
Ferodo DS2500 pads
Phaeton mod

I noticed that your discs don't have a fixing screw to keep them attached to the hub, is this a pain when removing, refitting wheels

I never refit the locating screw as they are an absolute bastard in the UK; they almost never come out. I have had to cut a disc off the hub and then grind the remainder down before after the screw rounded and then a drill bit snapped in it.

I know what you mean. Small Torx screws are pretty useless long term. Had loads of problems. What I do now is fit them with thread lock and leave them loose.

I have had the same problem many times, but was pleasantly surprised how easy all 4 came out on the RS6, and it does make it easy refitting wheels when the holes all line up.

The OE screws aren't great. I invested in some stainless torx and haven't had a problem since.

Probably the two best tools I've ever had are the butane torch I got recently and the impact tools. When used together, they make life much easier. I got a butterfly impact as well for small stuff in tight locations. Works really well on screws

Car back, wheels done.

Just need new centre caps now

Blimey, even 410mm discs look small behind those MTM alloys!
