New Front brake disc options.

JOHN-GEE said:

Hi,

I'm looking for some advise/options for new b8.5 RS5 Front brake disc's.
OEM ones seem to be around £850 - £1000, surely there are better after market options out there, or as good as OEM for less money????

Any advise or links would be appreciated, MOT is due in a couple of weeks and they're needing replaced. .

See ecs tuning they have a great oem replacement, higher spec design and lighter weight as well. On price though, it's an RS5 and brake discs have always been a costly item on any RS model.

Thanks @heylinTTnz

I'l have a look, as you say, RS5 brake disc's appear to be quite expensive.

John mate ave a butchers here:


As you know the S5 is very similar to the A5 whereas the RS cars are far more high performance and thus use specialist parts ONLY made for the RS. When talking brakes personally I prefer Brembo, but there are several possibilites on Auto Doc and they are usually fast to deliver too.

@SimonRoma thanks for the link, Zimmerman is the only ones I recognise, any idea if they're any good?

Zimmerman in general make very good quality brake rotors, at least in my opinion. I have purchased them for several of my VW & Audi vehicles over the last decade, and never had faults or disappointment. For example I have bought them for Golf MK4, Passat B5.5 and an Audi A5 B8.5. I do assume you are still talking about the "iron" rotors for the RS5, and not the optional carbon fiber ones?

@dhuddleson

Yes, it's the iron/steel disc's I'm looking for, thanks for your reply.
I've got a couple of options, need to decide & order.

Zimmerman has a very good quality

Decided to stick with Genuine Audi parts, got a great price via ASN Forum Sponsors @creweaudi.
