OEM rotor replacements

[pwm]

Is there a definitive list of the options?

I've come up with

2Bennett - Front Only - Custom aluminum hat with OEM Audi rings from another platform, not sure which.
http://2bennett.com/audi%20rs6.html
$1000 per pair w/hats
$700 per pair of rings & hardware

JH Motorsport - Front and Rear Custom hat and independently made OEM size rotors
$775 per front pair w/hats
$650 per rear pair w/hats

I'll update this info as new stuff comes in. I don't see ring prices for the JH stuff.


I've checked with Stoptech and they have no offerings for our 365mm setups.

Does anybody know of other 2 piece OEM replacements?

thanks,

Are you trying to find something cheaper than OEM?

Coleman and Loba have 2 peice rotor options. Look at last week's thread on rotors

I'm not so concerned about price. I'd be happy to buy OE for replacements, but from what I see of those rotors, I can do a lot better for the money.

[ben916]

There was a thread some time back relating to the development and creation of a two piece rotor system where only the rotor ring would be replaced versus replacing the entire rotor/hat.
The initial cost ($900+ fronts only) was more than OEM ($700) but then lifelong cost was considerably less ($190 each Fronts only)

Also the design of the rotor fins was superior to the OEM

I know that doesn't help much but hopefully one of the original purchasers of the system will shed some light ...

[pwm]

I believe that the one you're talking about was the setup that was done custom by Coleman. I'm going to get in touch with them and see what's the story.

if anybody knows I'm wrong, lemme know.

I would be interested to hear more about the Coleman setup when you get the details.

FYI- $299 each for the fronts on genuineaudiparts.com. $300 is not bad for the oem quality? Apparently you can also get them not drilled for about $250 each.

so I ordered the 2 front cross drilled rotors by the part numbers listed and as I'm installing them I realize both rotors have an R directional arrow instead of one R and one L. Did audionlineparts make a mistake or are those part #'s wrong? I double checked my order to make sure but it was correct.

Doh!

Just put the two front rotors on the right.....

Actually, if I remember, R stands for "rotation" and not "right". Put them on the floor and make sure one arrow goes one way, and one the other.

[arS6]

I have a pair of front 2Bennett rotors in very good condition for sale. Hats and rotors.

[peiserg]

guys, I'm one of the original Coleman racing 2 peice rotor purchasers. I'm on my 3rd ring replacement (92000 miles on my beast).

Is the 3rd ring replacement since new? What is the total cost of the Coleman rings alone. I already have the hats. Mixed reviews regarding coleman....

[JSRS6]

Just called these guys because I was wondering why the price on the front and rear rotors are the same. Granted, buying all 4 is about 200 cheaper than genuine was last time, but inquiring minds want to know. They told me that not only are the calipers brembo, but so are the rotors?????

So am I am looking on the wrong site or doing something wrong? I really need rotors for my rs6. Any help on finding some rotors for my car would be nice, or at least pointed in the right direction where I can find some.

[dre]

Looking at the prices on site right now, and genuineaudiparts are listed for fronts 443.30 and rears 443.30. audionlineparts are fronts 412.50 and rears 412.50 Was there a sale back on june 18 because i want them for 299 each lol!

[JSRS6]

Ok, that's criminal. I checked end of december and they were 270 each. Wth is going on here?

What the heck! I even cut and paste to a buddy in IM. This was from our chat transcripts:

I sent them a message asking. We will see what they say. Because at that price the JHM rotors are actually a cheaper option:

[repda503]

I ordered from audionlineparts.com and can verify they are OEM parts.
audionlineparts.com made a mistake and I recieved two right side rotors even though I ordered a Right with a Left. Took them to the dealership and parts manager verified they are OEM and swapped me a Left for a Right :)

Very interesting..... go to audionlineparts.com, click on Audi Mechanical, then 2003, then RS6, then brakes, then enter 4b3615301e hit enter. $412 is about 25% off retail

Now go to http://genuineaudiparts.com/ and enter the same information...... anyone see anything similar? $440 is about 20% off retail.

True genuine OEM rotors for under $300 per rotor.....??? WHAT A STEAL AT THAT TIME!!!!!!! Should have loaded up...... hahahahahaha!!!

[Dynmicracr]

Now that the OEM rotors are the same price as the JHM ones I went ahead and went that route. Just placed my order and will go pick them up on Monday. Lets hope they work out well. :)

JEEEBUS!!! Did a bunch of hedge funds start investing in RS6 rotors? Better get my new front pads in now - because my rotors are going another round.

[G2]

Maybe this will help?

Audi OEM C5-RS6 front rotors for $739 per pair. Can also get Zimmerman OE style (drilled) rotors for a chunk of change less.

Front OEM Textar brake pads (8) with wear sensors- $149 set. Quality aftermarket Ceramic pads with wear sensors for $69 front set! EBC pads also available.

Supplier Prices just keep going up I've noticed. Happens every year, often quarterly and sometimes even monthly. Not sure how long I can hold these prices for forum members!

Can put a package deal together with rear rotors and pads if people are interested. Ships from Eugene, OR.

PM for more info (included your email, name and ph#); trying to not be overly "commercial" about this! General questions I will answer in this thread.

Let me know what you guys think.

[lswing]

Thanks Gary, always good to see folks offering help. I will get over to adjust that tune, one of these days! At least with the cold weather you should be better off, I've backed off the w/m some...

Is there tax on the items since the sale was in Oregon? ;)

[JSRS6]

Just found this site:

oh, and free shipping over $200.

peiserg, who did you get the hats for the Coleman's through?

I bought them through JImmy stoner group buy years ago.

this will be my 4th ring set.

I am running the hawk 609F part number above.

[LIRS6]

Just received a pair of front rotors from German Auto Parts. No "rings", just a directional arrow, some stamped nbrs, and "MIN. T.H. 32.4mm" - generic boxes have correct part numbers:
4B3 615 301 E
4B3 615 302 A

I'm thrown by the reference to 32.4mm (vs. 34mm spec). I called GAP, they had no specific info to offer, except that they are Zimmermans and added that they are specific to 2003 RS6.

Any thoughts/comments regarding the 32.4mm?

TIA

32.4mm is the minimum thickness, point at which it is recommended to change the rotors

[LIRS6]

Much appreciated!

[hahnmgh63]

The 32.4mm they are referring to is probably the min. limit for wear before replacement.

I found oem RS6 rotors in this website for a decent price which includes free shipping!!!
Around $285 for the OEM fronts. A bit cheaper for the zimmermans. I'm about to pick up a pair of the
OEM ones if I can't find the coleman rotors.

I saw their pricing, tried to ask them some q's (manufacturer of the "OEM"?) ... got into a silly computer-generated automatic e-mail exchange, could never get someone live to answer my question directly, or indirectly. Tried calling them, was on hold for 30 mins and gave up. When I called German Auto Parts, I got a rep on the phone immediately (Nathan) who was very attentive/responsive. Free shipping as well, and as they/I am in NY state, I received them overnite. When I called back with my q above, they were live on the phone again in a matter of seconds. I know others have bought from Parts Geek w/o issue, was just my preference; I felt that type of attention was worth the higher price, and to receive a 60lb pkg overnite was a bonus as I had a time constraint.
