Gallardo / Audi Brake Rotor Options.

[s8prtotype]

Well, since I'm in the market for new brakes, I've been searching like EVERY THREAD for any mods or what else I can use up front haha.

The lambo guys use our stock rotors because they're cheaper, but also searching that forum leads to the v10 R8 rotors fitting the lambo as well, and the newer RS5 rotors are the same as the R8....

I guess my question is will they all bolt up without issue (are the rotor hats the same offset) and does anyone here have an RS5 rotor they can measure to check for sure? I have a lead on some for a decent price...

Like these...

I know This post is for every other option out there that may work.

Just so everyone is aware, Advance Auto has the stock like Zimmermann rotors on their website.

What that means is that you can add just one side to the cart, and put in discount code TRT30 and you've just saved $50 bucks. Making the rotor $266.38 Shipped. Cheapest I've seen so far. Then just do it again for the other side. And maybe some hawk pads

Stock up!

Cheapest website for the EBC Yellow pads... only $109 shipped!

Anyone have the part number for the back?

[s8prtotype]

I have confirmed the RS5/R8 wave rotors do actually fit perfectly on my car. So that means any of the big brake kits offered for those cars will fit on our C5 RS6

Don't mind the dirty floor it's just some random garage with a lift i have access too



Now rocking EBC Yellows on the ride.

Great find!

Edit: is there a year range of rs5/r8 that we would search for when shopping? I'd like a"floating" option like our stock ones, but but slotted instead of drilled.

[s8prtotype]

If you just want slotted only I'd just go with the Girodisk rotors (cost wise)... which I plan on doing after I have 19's on. Brembo makes a slotted only 380mm rotor as well.. but it's $$$$

If you don't want to upgrade the wheels the ECS tuning RS5 rotors are now an option... Maybe they'll make just slotted for stock sizing as well??

We share the same Rotor offsets as the 2013-2014 RS5, The gallardo's and the R8's.

[mik15]

has anyone tried the ECS ones? they seem very appealing and good looking rotors

[s8prtotype]

I don't think anyone has considering I just figured out the RS5 rotors work.

Give them a shot and let us know! I haven't seen any reviews on them for street use yet, but i did find a bimmer thread on them with some info...

What model year Gallardo & R8 OEM Brake Rotors are a direct fit for the RS6? Do front and rears both fit?

[marklar182]

only fronts of the Gallardo/R8 rotors fit. All years.

only fronts of the "Wave" rotors fit as well, rears are smaller than our stock rears.

[dapow]

So R8(all Years) rotors is the same as RS6 Font Right and left ? Plug and Play?

[G2]

No, not the same. Yes, plug and play. C5 RS6 uses directionally vaned Left and Right rotors. Those cheap Lambo's and R8's do not (okay they sorta do, but just on the Left side...which makes the right side even worse than a radial vane type, as it'll cavitate or stall out air flow and overheat if driven hard... Damn bean counters vs engineers)

[s8prtotype]

The newer RS4 Avant and the RS5 have bigger wave rotors for the rear and all you have to do is space the caliper to fit. But you need 19's at least.

There is also a bigger factory front rotor and you'll need 12mm-15mm caliper bolt spacers, but I've found it's much more cheaper to use the Girodisk rotors cost wise, and they're probably stronger for track use.

What size are the rear brake discs you're talking about, because I find these Audi RS5 2013-2014 on ebay and 330mm brake discs are smaller than the RS6 C5 ?
