Why a new calliper bracket? Was going to change the anti rattle springs.
EDIT: Ah re-read, you mean the bolts... do they need changing then?

Yeah the exact same bolts in my 2015 Leon needed replacing once removed according to the Seat brake manual. Cant think Audi is any different as the bolts are the same part numbers. I will be replacing mine when I do my brake change in a few weeks.
My indecent will be fitting mine I think... an hours labour for each pair so £150 for the 2 hours. I can’t release the rear callipers.
Definitely competent enough to change the fronts, have done plenty of brakes over the years but just for what it is would have more peace of mind knowing they’ve done it and it’s an extra invoice in the folder. Will give them the go ahead to change the bolts at the time.

Get the Reylands.
Revo are a waste of time, never have stock then told me they didn’t fit an 8V FL car.
My Brembo discs are in the house, excited to have a nose
Will likely buy the full set before I need them, just got to resist fitting then

One day you’ll have a garage to store parts

I’ve got one, what little space isn’t taken up by the car is filled with detailing stuff and a toolbox. They will start to annoy my Mum before they annoy me.

Break disc = 380 x 32

Pleased you got your answer,
I was stupidly thinking of the Reyland discs which list 32mm for 8p and 34mm for 8V.
Get them on

I remember once upon a time there was an outfit called 888 Racing (Triple Eight) and they made a limited edition Astra that had Alcon brakes fitted. Alcon made them especially for the car and then never made any spares. When those original brakes wore out it cost the owners a small fortune to have custom discs made up.
That ain't what I call good customer service...

Absolutely DO NOT fit EBC Redstuff pads with the Alcon discs if you ever intend on driving your car quickly. Made this mistake myself and nearly wrecked the discs (they went blue after a few consecutive hard stops during some 'enthusiastic' driving and made a terrible noise). I have used the Ferodo Premier pads with the Alcon's and they were not much different (but a lot cheaper) than the DS Performance pads.
Also, I would recommend using a neutral cleaner to wash the wheels/brake dust as the anodizing on the Alcon alloy bells/hats tends to begin to oxidise after six months if you use an acidic based cleaner.
I want the DS performance pads but they seems to be not availebel ..
I just waited to long to order ..
I ordered them when the brake light came on the company where i ordered them told me That the delivery time was about 3 weeks ..
Now its 10 weeks and nothing .. not before end october .. so i Will order the premier pads .
The delivery time fir the alcon discs was 3 weeks .. That was a surprise

I ran the Alcon's on my PFL car for over 13k miles. I switched pads from the Ferodo Premier's to the DS Performance because I wanted to see if there was a big difference between the two pads. In my opinion there was hardly any difference between the two, maybe the Premier's were a little harder on the discs but not much else. I was going to fit a similar kit to my FL car but opted for the Reyland's (380mm) and the DS 2500 pads, I have to say that they are an excellent combination of disc/pad for the RS3.
Pic below shows Alcon disc after 13K miles of wear next to the new Reyland disc I have fitted to my FL car.
Contact Trevor Leigh at this company, they make their very own DSP pad that incorporates wear sensors which you otherwise don’t get. I expect they will have them all in stock

A friend of mine put a lot of time into the Ferodo pads with Trevor so that Forum members could buy DS performance pads.
How is this setup mate now it's been on since July?
This is exactly what I'm looking to go for so just making sure before i part with a 1K

I went for Audi discs and Brembo HP2000 pads up front and standard coated Brembo rear discs and pads.
All working great now, brakes are much better and the feel is exactly what I wanted. The HP2000 are less dusty than the OE pads but the standard rear Brembos are quite dusty.
Sorry this has been asked before but I can’t find the post and the internet is just confusing me.
What’s the min the front discs can be before needing to be changed?
I’m sure on another post someone said it’s written on the bell which for my (wavy Audi) ones is stating 32.4mm.
Now I’ve had it into a garage and they are telling me they are at 32.4mm but they are good till 31mm
Can anyone shed some light please really confused now?

It says 32.4mm on my Audi discs. If it says the same on yours then thats the limit. I think that limit is a little conservative but running to 31mm there will be quite a lip at the edge and the car would be outside manufacturer limits.
Thanks mate
Guy in garage incorrect then, he did check it through the computer and assured me it was accurate but hey was Kwik Fit ha .... cheap tyres though!
Got a lip on them now so looks like I need to swap them, might just bang the wavy on and save some $

By cheap tyres, I hope you don’t mean budgets? Not very good practice to fit ditch finders onto a performance motor haha, I wouldn’t fit them on my diesel.
