RS6 Discs and Pads

Post by reprs » Wed Sep 30, 2009 1:30 pm

Can anyone point me in a good direction for replacement front discs and pads in Bucks/Berks. Have been quoted between £860-£960. Does that sound about right?

Probably your best bet is to give MRC (Banbury) a call - they'll doubtless do a good price. Not sure if they are offering the C6 upgrade yet, but they may be (any news Doug??)

Otherwise parts from DSGWagen (Doncaster) seems to be the cheapest for OEM in most people's experience - they are on ebay.

Otherwise ring Rob at Camberley Audi - he can usually offer a good deal! (Oh and you get to see his FIERCE 500 as well!!)

Thanks, sorry should have added that included fitting. Is it still shocking?

So what needs to be done for them to fit? Because DavidK's got them on.

The answer's on an earlier post - needs a small shim/space because the offset isn't quite the same.

offset on the caliper? Or the disk?
