I have just fitted new face lift front discs to my PFL RS3 (not OE but the same look and spec). They were noticably heavier, I could barely lift both discs together.
The origional wavey discs, well worn with 24k miles on them, weigh 10.5 kg each.
It feels like the extra weight has made a difference with the car, initial pick up is slightly less urgent and I'm sure the front end feels more crashy over bumps.
Has anyone experienced differences like this when swapping to different discs?
Performance wise they feel great, once bedded in. Might be placebo effect but I'm sure I can feel the extra weight on the front.
