I suppose £380 is OK for the two then - suppose you need to anticipate higher running costs to get the performance - the brakes are damned good too!

This seems like an extremely good price to me, especially for the drilled disks.

As far as I'm aware, there are only OEM disks available for the RS6 on the front at least (without modifying, I mean).

Didn't someone on here put Phaeton disks on theirs?

Is this even possible?

But the fronts are straight swaps?

I got them supplied, fitted and inc vat £460.00 and they are genuine drilled discs. I think grizz was going to do a good deal on a group buy, would be worth pm'ing him.

Just called Reading Audi, and as long as your car is over 3 years old, you qualify for their AudiAvantage program 20% off labour, 10% off parts.

Pads - Front 151 (Inc fitting and VAT)
- Rear 167 (Inc fitting and VAT)

Disks - Front 242 (Inc)
- Rear 257 (Inc).

Much cheaper than I feared !!...
:P

Is that each disk or for a pair??? seems very cheap! how come the fronts are cheaper than the rears???? how is that?

Is the AudiAdvantage program just Reading Audi (and affiliated dealers) or a global Audi thing? 20%/10% is quite considerable when you consider how much RS6s cost to maintain - certainly not to be sniffed at.

Just shows you the savings we can get by a bit of researching eh! Just bought/fitted a set of RS6Plus rears off a guy on ebay - brand new but been stored for a while. I thought £350 was a deal - bugger!!! oh well still cheaper than getting them done elsewhere.
Looks like maybe the fronts arent that far off. Think I'll be shopping about next time!

Thanks for that David. Did the Phaeton disks just go straight on?

@corkey: HOw can the fronts be cheaper than the rears?
