Mine are coming up for changing soon as think the combo of EBC yellow stuff and worn discs are not that effective . So new standard discs and EBC red stuff from summit racing will be done ( as I can't be arsed with wiring out the wear indicator ) .

[135i king]

I've recently done the red stuff pads along with new standard discs, I'd say I've done around 2k mileage with them and for every day road usage I can't fault them. However when pressing on over the tops they fade very quickly, I get steering wheel judders & the pedal almost dissappears. Not something you want from the "RS" brand at all.

I was wondering whether anyone has bit the bullet on some actual decent discs, i.e tarox/ap racing? I can't help but feel that a good set of discs & pads for fast Road use along with some better lines and brake fluid could really improve the longevity & quality of the brakes when pressing on? Obviously the other option is a BBK. I'm tempted by the bigger R8 calipers but for the full set up I can't help but think an extra bit of money will buy you a much better Tarox BBK?

I was looking at the vagbremtechnic big brake upgrade kit but just don't have the pennies right now

spoke to huddersfield Audi, sales guy today and he said that the model: 8p0615301c are the correct type, for the 8p something to do with updated version of squeeky discs, but everything else says its supposed to be 8p0615301b.

 

he said they updated calippers on the models to combat squeeking?? how the hell do i know if that mod has been done, this is insane.

tried it on with £400 n odd per disc i said try again, because the new code © first google search are 385euros. and the (c ) i can get for £433 for the pair

 

why are they all full of ****

 

i gave him my number told him to ring me back when he speaks to his manager with the best price they can for EACH type of disc

Is the vagbremtechnic BBK the R8 upgrade? Or a completely different BBK?

[T-800]

The only modification they did on the calipers was to add Requil tuned dampers on the backside of the calipers

The round silver ones (2 on each caliper) you can see on the photos.

On/off they made zero difference for mine.


They also changed the back of the pads by adding semi circular cut outs

So if you, upgraded you need the 8p0615301c? And if not you use the 8p0615301b?
If so will I be able to find out if mine was upgraded without removing the callipers?

[Paul]

I think you will find you can use either disc, Audi will Only supply the latest revision.

From underneath or with a mirror you should be able to see if you have the dampers or not.
It doesn't really matter. They didn't work and were not a recall, only fitted to some cars on demonstrated complaint, which they now seem to deny ever existed.

Thanks ill get mirror on and check

[RS3rick]

How much are these Audi front disks coming out at?

[Shredstar]

Rick I'm waiting to find out on Monday when Huddersfield Audi sales manager rings back

[Paul]

Might be an option to see if they will return to the previous price for the forum?
Or for a set amount of time/ purchases?

[Shredstar]

Yeah that's what I'm gonna go for mate, no wool will be pulled over my eyes by the sales pitch

[T-800]

Spoken to Andrew at Macclesfield just now

 

RS3 front discs for the MK1 are £252 + vat each and £12 shipping

 

Price was increased in January by Audi £100 per disc

 

He did say a further 5% discount was possible if 5 sets were ordered 

 

The latest revision is indeed 'C'

 

 

Also spoke to TPS 

 

Retail £ 337.40 + vat per Disc

 

Trade £ 273.30 + vat per Disc

 

 

So I'd actually say Andrew's price is not too bad all things considered.

Yeah I also spoke to him after you t800 and he said it was £500 + the delivery for the pair
He said the ones I found in fr racing need to be checked and see if they are stamped with the Audi logo anyway


Andrew at Macc also said he would offer a further 5% on a group buy
