    Replacements for Front Rotors and Pads, and rear Pads

    Need to replace the front rotors as well as pads, and the rear rotors. Looking to get something cheaper than the parts from the audi dealer and do the work myself. I was told in a previous post to shop around for these parts. Any recommendations on what will fit the C5 RS6 and where to get these? Thanks in advance.

    Search is your friend. There was a recent thread on this subject as Audi parts doubled in price this year.

    I recently bought front rotors from German Auto Parts - they are Zimmermans, and were about $275 each for the fronts (after price-matching). Have a look at this thread : http://www.rs6.com/showthread.php/24469

    Be sure to stay away from the EBC Red Pads! (contrary to past posts you will find in searches)

    You didn't mention any reasoning despite hinting at possibly something new--
    The Red pads tend to warp brake rotors- but is unlikely to happen on our 2pc design rotors. Or go with Green pads for street driving to save some $. Yellow EBC's are a first choice for me.

    Was considering getting EBC yellows but read a bit and saw that the reds were pretty bad on the RS6. Are all of the products like that? Or not based on price as they are all within $50 is there a better pad from EBC to buy?

    Reds severely overheat the rotors and deposit tons of pad material onto the rotors.
