RS6 front brake upgrade questions.

Postby quatroad on Tue Oct 13, 2009 8:39 pm

The Brake Upgrade section says: "Retro full RS6 kit to any year allroad" but is the RS6 full front kit a straight bolt on? I always thought there might be an issue going to the RS6 fronts due to the wheel bearing on the allroad being pressed into the knuckle whereas on the RS6 it is a separate bearing housing that mounts to the knuckle. Wouldn't that cause the alignment of the hub mounting surface to vary between the two vehicles, creating a potential issue with the alignment of the caliper to the rotor. What about the master cylinder? Would an upgrade to the allroad master be required?

It's not a bolt up but not too far from.... The rears will need some brackets made and you will need some 18 inch wheels.

Those parts are big bucks new... there are equal options for far less dough.
