Brake Questions

[DrummieDave]

Hello All,

I'm new here but not new to RS and S Audi's.

I bought an RS3 in Jan and it's fantastic. I've noticed the front brake discs have quite a big lip on them and I'm going to change them. I'm just having some issues with the part number.
Are they 8PO 615 301 or 8PO 615 801?

Also I've been reading about the brake mod because of squeal. Mine have been fine since I owned it, but it's a late 2012 car, so I'm assuming it'll have been modified from the production line?

Thanks for any info. I'll get some pics taken and uploaded once I get chance to give her a clean.

Hey Dave,
The latest part number for the RS3 discs is 8P0 615 301B
You can usually pick them up for around £400 the pair from your local TPS or some of the online parts specialists, I have no idea what the Audi RRP is on them but I suspect nearer £600

EDITED - actually, here's them for 490Euros delivered from Germany, that's £360 with todays exchange rate!
