    The brake madness continues. My latest and last upgrade. Keep it in the family... ;)

    yeah, what was I supposed to do when Rocco showed of his 385mm discs? I knew that my 380mm wasn't big enough and as I saw it there were only one option, RS6 V10 390mm brakes.



    So, can you guys stop upgrading your brakes now??? I can't afford another set and the only set left is the 420 mm ceramic brakes from the RS6 V10.

    I adore and love Wolfgangs solution for the front wheel hub assembly but I still think I'll make new brackets for these beasts. If the MOT doesn't pass the car with these brakes it's to much work to change the whole assembly and align the wheels. So I'll probably go down the custom bracket route again, there will be brackets for sale.

      Jesus ****. I'm not sure if that's brilliant or insane. I think both.

            What size rims are you running? looks quite a bit of clearance if they are 18's but iirc you need at least 19's for this from reading rocco's threads.

            You got any decent pictures of your car with those rims on

            And out of interest how much would this setup roughly set someone back and what would you match it with at the rear?

              Look superb, I'd imagine their 19's Pete as the pic below are 378mm on 18's MO's

                I know when I had my RS6 the discs were £600.00 a set from Audi & £450.00 from the local VW dealer...

                They were a dealer only part then too..

                Bet the calipers would set you back £1.5K for a pair...

                  if they are the one's I think they are then s2avant was selling a pair for £300 at adi last year, tad overkill for on my urq as its a lot lighter than a s2.

                      weren't they from the early RS6?

                      I was only quoting what I bet the stealers would be charging...

                        NEO MATRIX , wich calipers are you using?? "RS" from??

                        or are they the Audi Ceramic calipers as you had??

                        do you know the weight of these steel discs??

                        i have mine brakes homologated¡¡¡¡ i´ve paid 450€ for the homologation of my 235/35/19´s ,Brembos brakes front and rear (without specifitation if they are 300x32 or 400x38) + my sparco milano seats so now i can upgrade or downgrade everything with the brakes without TUV or Police problems.

                        are these rims replica or porsche originals?? 19"s true??


                        very nice work,it looks AWESOME¡¡ now put your car with a GT30 and rule the road
