    Pictures PICS: RS6 glowing brake discs

    This weekend we went to do the famous hillclimbs and descents in the French Vosges department.

    I must say, I got to know the car even better and am truly amazed what it is up to. For a big heavy autobahn-rocket, it is crazy how well it is handling and gripping on curvy mountainroads.


    One thing though: the brakes suffer
    Had new pagids installed before the trip -> burnt to crisp

    The discs were already fairly used and are now absolutely due for replacement.

    anyway, enjoy these pics

    Absolutely amazing what that car is capable of in the hills
    wet and bumpy hills with lots of turns... it took it like a true sportscar :MTM:

    And just the feeling of the quattro working under those conditions -> heaven

    I'm starting to think any disc would warp on the RS6 after some very sporty driving or after a few stops from +200 km/h to <100km/h.

    I was due to replace the discs anyway. Tomorrow evening I will be @ the Ring, good feeling that I can use them real hard without having to feel bad

    Amazing pictures ! ! !
    Thanks for sharing them.

    I never found the limit of the MTM Brakes Kit 380mm even on the RS6 Clubsport on race track. Tires were loosing it before the brakes...
