Ceramic rear callipers.

Post by classba » Thu Aug 11, 2016 12:11 pm

Asking for a friend to see if the Ceramic rear callipers are the same as the steel ones?. Both the C6 callipers are the same apart from the colour.

Thanks.

LittleDevil says they are different as the ceramic rear discs are a different size to the steel ones on the C7 - 370x30mm vs 356x22mm

The calipers also have different part numbers -

Ceramic - 4G0615403B

Steel - 4G0615403C

and look slightly different in Etka - Ceramic & Steel

C6 rear calipers are the same ones with a different paint finish and use the same size disc (356x28mm) regardless of material.
