1 piece versus 2 piece rotors...

Hmm, fits all models. Just think of the weight savings of running A6 2.8 rotors.

Don't forget to add a hood scoop...

Why stop at one? I could put a cowl induction scoop on the hood to match the El Camino, then one on the roof, and maybe one on each quarter panel to emulate that mid engine look.

Made in China boy racer parts don't belong on an RS6... You can gamble on some Chinese-manufactured stuff, but I wouldn't roll the dice on brake rotors. (The LED tails I bought are Chinese, but I inspected the crap out them and verified the light output and angle when I received them)

There just isn't reliable quality control and certification in manufacture. Who knows what the alloy is? Could be melted down tuna cans. Also iRotors list no weight spec. Rotors are unsprung weight, which we all know has a big impact on acceleration, you have to wonder what they weigh.

I wouldn't touch 'em. But I wouldn't rock a Canal Street Fauxlex on my wrist, either.

If it looks too good to be true... you know the rest!

Not even the folks on the Dodge and Chrysler forums will touch these. My advice for any Audi or VW is genuine VW and Audi parts. I am at a shop everyday watching Paul and Lester remove some aftermarket BS from somebody's car. You just cant use Adance Auto or Pep Boys parts on these cars. Sorry.

Don't forget the lambo door kit and :harass: "Universal Extreme Dimensions Carbon Creations Carbon Fiber Type 2 Fuel Canards - 102650 Manufacturer: Extreme Dimensions"

I think you over thought on this one ;) Those rotors are listed to fit all A6 models including but not limited to the RS6. So they wouldn't actually fit the application should anyone make the misjudgment to actually purchase them. But at a least we found a few good hoodscoops in the link.

How about another pound of boost? I'm reasonably sure my dryer puts out more air than that.

Oh you bastard V8! "Overthink" is my highest insult. I stand by my needless statement.

Hmm, I noticed in a previous thread that you wear Pumas. Did I make fun of you for that? No. Did I mention it in the forums? No. Did I realize as I'm typing this that admitting you noticed what type of shoe some dude you don't know was wearing on a car-dork forum, retained it and brought it up later is...

well... :vhmmm: pathetic.


Can I get banned for being random?

Hmm, I'll look into it. I think there's something wrong with your powers, did you get a hair cut or something?

Hehe, no. But I am in Cali on business and I forgot my pomade which is negatively impacting the coiffe-style at the moment.

On-topic-randomosity cancel: Hey, those rotors don't fit your car, son. Look elsewhere online for a good deal on OEM. :0:

"needless statement" -> classic!!!

I had to re-read Puma as I THOUGHT you wrote Prius (the anti-christ of the RS6)...

...Banned? only if you want to be banned? Just don't be like RussianDudeM3 or RussianM3Dude (that guy was a jacka$$)
