Rs6 calipers bolted straight on and dust shields work fine also.

We needed some 4mm shims to get exact and we also have stainless steel lines fitted for added pedal feel.

Any questions re fitting pm little Glen

Definitely! How much do the standard wheels and tyres weigh? And hubs I guess. What's the percentage difference?

Fronts are 4kg difference ish.

That could be as much as 10%, quite a bit of unsprung weight difference! Imagining talking about loosing 200kg of the whole car...

unsprung weight is supposed to be that ratio IIRC - 10% off the unsprung is the 'same' as 10% of sprung. I'm sure I read that somewhere.

Good point! I think I've heard that too.

I wonder what the ap racing rs6 disks weigh? I looked at those as an option against ceramics, but didn't get the exact figures, just "light".

Ap racing similar size. 9.3kg disks. So only 1kg heavier than the ceramics.

That's compared to the C7's massive 420mm items. The B8/B7 have 380mm versions which are nearer 7.5kg each - B8 may weigh a little less as they use a different bell to the B7? Both 380mm ceramic setups also utilise a smaller calliper compared with the 420mm ceramic brakes.

It looks like the 420mm ceramics weight less than all the other front discs including smaller ceramics.

Only RS5 380x38mm is lighter, but RS6 4G CCB are really light compared to it's size.
