Rear brakes

Post by Clarkmagpie » Thu Mar 20, 2014 8:47 pm

Hi, after new suspension and new tyres...
New rear caliper disc and pads required :)
Anybody help?
Best place to buy? Best offers?
Anybody got an old set knocking about?!

Thanks!

Just got new rear discs off 123spareparts for about £380 from memory. Used quidco and got £30 cash back so not too bad all in.
Still looking for somewhere decent for rear pads at the moment.

You'd better check the dimensions of the rear disks. For some reason a lot of motor factors think the RS6 take smaller rear disks than it actually does.

I've just had my rear discs, pads and one caliper replaced. The bill came to just over £1k. About half of that was just for the rear disc's. I'd double check they are correct before you place your order, the price seems way to cheap.
