FS: New RS6 Brakes and pads (R8/RS5)

[G2]

If anyone needs OE rotors: (lowest priced on Ebay)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/331487017742?item=331487017742&viewitem=&vxp=mtr

I also listed the rear OEM rotors on Ebay.

My EBC wholesaler is going to stock RS6 pads for me/shop. Both Yellow and BlueStuff. This will lower the cost a bit and eliminate special order lead times. Can make up brake kits, to include the hardware kits, fasteners, brake lines and fluid.

Able to offer Zimmerman RS6 rotors also. Or R8 and RS5 brakes if you want to go that route. Among other items.

Willing to do what I can on prices for those on this forum. And you'll get the right parts from someone with a vested interest in this car, and of our group. :race:

What's the price on the rear zimmerman's shipped? Also the yellow pads.

[G2]

The rear Zimmerman rotors are not available thru my supplier (but the fronts are). The OE rears (see my ebay ad), about $780 pair, plus $20 shipping.

With the rear OE rotors, Yellows would add $99. Hardware shim kit is $19.

[s8prtotype]

Like discussed in my other thread, the RS5's work... which means $719 for the pair.

http://www.ecstuning.com/Audi-B8_RS5--4.2L/Braking/Rotors/ES2749057/

or go 2 piece for just a little more, then save from there on out... $799

http://www.ecstuning.com/Audi-B8_RS5--4.2L/Braking/Rotors/ES2603007/

Rear pads are $75 Here: http://thmotorsports.com/ebc-brakes/ebc-brake-pads-yellowstuff-4000-series/dp41470r/i-438225.aspx

I'll probably upgrade the rears when the time comes at this point.

[kruat]

I'd like front and rear ebc yellows, what's that run? My rotors are still new, but I hate the oem pads, they dust way too much.

Those links didn't work for me--


What's on Ebay is just to get some attention, but it is the lowest there, far as I know. As mentioned, willing to work with our group on prices best I can.

Have you or someone actually tried the RS5 rotors? And it's not that great of a price, BTW. I could beat it. In terms of Value the OE rotors in my viewpoint are better all-round, probably even better than Zimmerman-- at least with the prices I see on my side.

The OEM's are a true 2 pc rotor, on both cars, just not a true Floating type. And the vent vanes are not directional like on the RS6. I suppose if there was a place to cut corners it would be the rear.....just watch the right side of the car (front and rear) potentially cook it's rotors and/or wheel bearings over time. Probably a non-issue for a DD on the street, however. But not on my DD street driver.

Not to pick on ECS but these companies offering replaceable rotor rings has me really wondering the actual real world benefit. Just dealt with that scenario, not them, but another popular company that makes the same thing. Think there's a post on that topic here somewhere.....

If THM actually has the EBC pads in stock, that's got to be the best deal out there. I can't touch that, even going thru the largest distributor in the PNW. I get better prices on the Blue pads.

Basically what I'm offering is OEM spec rotors-- guaranteed to fit, with a warranty -- at very reasonable prices. One order, one transaction at one source, one accountable person/business to deal with. That will appeal to some.

[4everRS]

Can you get front rotors without the cross drilling?

[s8prtotype]

Yep, OEM RS5 stuff bolts right up, and my understanding is ECS just gives you the whole thing when you go to replace them if you went that route. The pattern on there aftermarket stuff is correct.

There is also the giro disk option but you need 19's to clear them, for $1300.

Since my front is done for now, I need the best price on part number: 8T0615601A

Let me know.

What are you finding for P&A on those rotors? When do you want/need them?

[s8prtotype]

Just need a price.

[G2]

Can you get front rotors without the cross drilling?

Should be able to. Phaeton rotors? (4E0 615 301P). But otherwise it's a "no" for the OE design and size.

[lswing]

Can you get front rotors without the cross drilling?

Do you not want your car to look "cool"?

[G2]

I'd like front and rear ebc yellows, what's that run? My rotors are still new, but I hate the oem pads, they dust way too much.


The best I could do is $245 shipped shipped now to WA (they might let me, let you, pickup at the Portland warehouse to save a bit more).

Working with my supplier to see what can be done on pricing.....I can't directly compete just on pricing with places like THM that buy in huge volumes from EBC.

[G2]

Just need a price.

I've got nothing right now.

[G2]

$605 shipped. Is that decent?

[DHall1]

Im confused.

RS5 fr and rear rotors are exact fitments for C5 RS6 and 100s cheaper?

If so, lets document pn's and prices from Gary. And thanks for doing this Gary.

[s8prtotype]

The rear isn't "exact" you need a 3mm spacer behind the mounting tabs (simply washers) to push the caliper out a little due to the hat offset. I have not verified this with my own car yet, but another guy I've been talking too has, and thats what i want to do to save some weight and match my front RS5 wavy disk :)

Front's are a direct bolt on.

[s8prtotype]

ECS is at $442 each on the RS5 rears... ehh

http://www.ecstuning.com/ES2557301/?gclid=Cj0KEQiA37CnBRChp7e-pM2Mzp0BEiQAlSxQCBermXpR9rEHnAF2VS3QgKzofPnuehWQ8_ EbcVnIxBMaApiA8P8HAQ

[lswing]

Don't forget these guys when you get new rotors, roughly double the life they say...and they're cooler.

http://www.frozenrotors.com/

[s8prtotype]

Yea that's an amazing deal on those and cheaper as well. Cheaper for the RS5 model too.

[G2]

Give me P/N's and I'll punch them in.

Far as I can tell RS5 wavy rear rotors are very spendy. Checking into it....

OEM is less costly, fits, and is directionally vaned. The RS6 is the only VAG car made with directional rotors. I see no X-reference of OEM RS6 rotors with anything else made...

The Audi R8 front rotors are a direct fit and exact fit-- not undersized like the RS5 rotors (not that it may actually matter). Bit cheaper but not directional on the right side (only the left is correct).

To each his own of course.

[s8prtotype]

Yep, saving money is part of the build process for me, i will never overspend for a part no matter what car it is. Thrill is in the chase :)

Already had it figured out...... eh

[s8prtotype]

I didn't, just a 5 second google search.

You're in the wrong business if you don't like price matching. Sorry.

Seems they are using one piece rotors from various suppliers. Not sure if those pics are representative?

[G2]

The front set of OEM RS6 are the only ones I currently have. I can't get new ones until mid April. :vgrumpy: (this fellah makes me laugh)

The OEM RS6 rotors are always low stock and often back ordered. I'm going to take a stab and say that whatever is in the country now is what we have. Company i go thru is the largest in the nation and supplies to all indy shops. And likely most of the on-line retailers also.

I may pull my Ebay add (OEM fronts) , as those rotors were/are earmarked for my car. Wanted to do some trackday type driving with new OE rotors and BlueStuff pads....and new PSS's.

The Zimmerman and R8/RS5 rotors are looking okay for now, however.

Moving on:

Is there anyone currently in need/want of brake rotors in the next couple weeks? If so, can price some brake kits together.

[vas160s]

I need rear rotors but I am waiting to snatch up a deal somewhere. Like s8prtotype said...it's all in the chase baby! Lol

It's just more money for the next mod or maint. item :)

JHM has a 2 piece rear rotor for the rs6 relatively cheap but I'm kinda picky and like things to match.


https://jhmotorsports.com/shop/catalog/rear-rotorspair-jhm-piece-lightweight-for-c5-rs6-p-603.html

[G2]

Old topic, but:

Clipped from JHM tech info is not exactly correct: -Rotor Cooling Center Fin Design: Stock = Straight Fin, JHM = Airfoil - MORE EFFICIENT for better cooling

The fins/vanes are not straight/radial as stated. OE rotors are directional for each side. Interestingly they state the rotors will also fit the A6/Allroad. That is doubtful due to significant difference in diameter, and the 2 difference sizes the A6 uses. A non issue for the RS6, of course.

JHM does not state whether the rotors are L-R directional to match OEM. They do not mention country of origin for the rotors, only hats.

My machinist said he was not going to turn/resurface this brand of rotor again, due to the hat design. Unless he charged straight shop time. Even that was a concession. No issues with the OE design however.

I have nothing at all against JHM. I fully support US manufacturing on our turf. Maybe someone here has used the JHM rear rotors and can comment further.

If the dollar is worth more than preserving the brakes we have -- and do we ever need them-- then one should at least know what might be lost beforehand. Is that worth saving $100 per pair over the OEM rear rotors?

Slightly lower prices available with other parts, pads. Chase more, save more :incar:

[G2]

There's one more set of front OEM rotors available. Price reduced $71 because of this.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/AUDI-RS6-OEM-Front-Disc-Brake-Rotors-Pair-2-Left-Right-specific-365x34mm-/331487017742?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4d2e2a7b0e&vxp=mtr

Will sell OEM rear rotors at $739 if front and rear rotors are purchased (set of 4). With rotor set EBC pads are $199 Yellows, $219 Blue F/R set. Hardware kits also available ($78, both sides on front), and most service item parts.

Willing to deduct an add'l 3% off costs on complete F/R rotor set, if PayPal or Credit Card fees are not charged to me. Most shop clients send me checks to avoid this, often for large amounts. Willing to extend that courtesy to our group on a each case basis.


Other items available:

Zimmerman RS6 front rotors (2 sets available) that should be about $680. Have a full timing belt kit of my own making coming in early next week (can sell the pre-made Conti kits also).

RS5/R8 front OEM rotors right about $700. Available 1st week next month. Final price TBD, pending new inventory costs.

Have a 500hp NA engine to finish building and another RS6 to tear apart for major services, and more Audi's and Porsches staring me down....
Gotta run for now, but hope all this helps.

For you FB'ers, I run two specific RS6 groups ("Audi RS6" with now over 600 members). Good group from all around the world. Lots of hot Avants.

Please consider requesting to join this one, as it's exclusively for RS6 owners.

There's a few here that are probably already on my forums. I regularly refer people to rs6.com.

Here you have Zimmerman for 221euro/each in front and 233euro/each for rear:

They're on ebay too, wonder what shipping would be to us.

Non-drilled is cheaper as well.

Here is all the options they have for the RS6:

Just found this little site that supports the front/rear of the RS5.... I might just go this route as it includes Rotors, 6 piston calipers, pads... ect... I selected 6 piston with 356mm rotors (to keep using 18" stockers if needed)

$1812 Shipped?!? Black caliper with silver hubs might get it close enough to the OEM look. :)

Edit, forgot about this company... they were decent back in my BMW days... Link to M5board about them, owner post on there and all.

http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/e39-m5-e52-z8-discussion/206757-ceika-big-brake-kit-2.html

I'm going to shoot them an email and see if they can simply do RS6 brackets with the 3mm added in, although i'm not sure it would matter with that caliper set-up.

Ebay link with ll the options...

Might save a few bucks buying internationally. Be interested to see how any returns or warranty situations might play out. Or even mis-shipments.

Have my eyes on a rear brake kit. Working on another car right now but the RS6 is on my list.

[RS8]

I want to know what is best for hard race track racing:
RS6, RS5 or Phaeton discs in the front?

what do you think?

[G2]

Far as I know RS6 rotors are the ONLY directionally vaned rotors Audi has ever offered. Why downgrade what our cars came with?

[G2]

What is the appeal of non-drilled rotors for a car that came with?

[4everRS]

I what racing series are drilled rotors used?
