'03 RS6 C5 sedan - aftermarket brakes - your suggestions
First of all, I would like to say that I'm new here, so hi to everybody!
I've just bought an 2003 RS6 sedan, which has problems with oem brakes- they are rusty and old, so I now need to change them with new rotors and pads.
I would like to hear some opinions from RS6 drivers about Zimmerman Formula Z rotors - good or bad? And what kind of pads should I use with zimmerman's?
Kind regards.

Zimmerman's are generally known to be good quality aftermarket...I run their rotors on my allroad.
I run Akebonos and Posi centrics pads on both C5s, both have very nice qualities and are less dusty than OE.
Make sure you buy the new aluminum caliper pins, I bet you have to destroy the pins that are in there to remove the pads. BTDT !

I am now researching about redstuff, yelowstuff and ferodo ds pads, howewer
someone told me that YellowStuff pads are good, but I found info that they are destroying rotors very fast, is it true?
