    anyone know of a recent audi oem brake disc which is 330x30mm? Also numptie question but i suppose to achive a correct pad sweep using the normal 323x30 disc, you'd have to space out the caliper by 7mm using washers etc right?

      the alcon setup i have utilises 330x30, I think Bry suggested using a merc disc he'd found but can't remember the details, other options is to buy larger dia and get them machined down , or a 28 or 32mm disc, don't forget the current stack height you have (pad + disc + pad) and get new pads in correct size to maintain stack height, dependent on the disc width you choose.

      I looked at various places DBA, brembo, Ap, Wilwood etc,etc when trying to get new discs, it was cheaper to get Alcon to do a one-off recast the discs (they were no longer available) and they came in at £245/each

        one-off recast....bloody hell thats dedication for you, and actually price wasn't as bad as I thought!

        Did have a looksy on the Brembo site and nothing came back on the config with the standard hat height so sounds like I'll stay on the 323x30 instead.
