Awesome...

… I am ordering the spacers and bolts from ECS today! 15mm up front 10mm out back… I often get up to Central CA for the great roads and Big Sur - up as far as Monterrey. I will let you know of my next trip - perhaps we can take a ride :-)

Happy Holidays

Eric

ECS sells them as a kit. Not sure if you are aware of that. They have a non-aggressive and aggressive kit. I've got the aggressive one.

Sounds good. Let me know when you are up here.

I am a very conservative drive, never took my car to the the tracks, and rarely drive up or down a steep hill. Is this a lemon law issue or simply do the RS5's cost an arm and a leg to maintain. My Porsche never ad these problems. Any advice from experts would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Same problem here, even worse: the rotors worned out/warped twice for only 8k miles. This is absurd! I am so disappointed at Audi. Last audi I plan to have....

5000 miles, new rotors already for me; I just got this car from Audi as a CPO vehicle!

There were issues with the RS5 brake rotors...

… They were prone to excessive runout which can be conformed by the technician. Audi replaced mine under warrantee at 12000 miles. If you have a CPO, you should demand the same.
