Just installed C6 RS6 rear rotors
Now when my original 324x22mm rear rotors have seen there best days and needed to be changed, I wanted something that would better match the front 370mm rotors, so I went with the 356x28mm rotors from the new RS6.
The installation was quite easy, the new rotors fitted right on with only minor modifications, a modified RS6 caliper mounting bracket and new brake dust shield was the only other parts needed.

Indeed brake balance is very important.
Read on the StopTech guys testing their brakes vs a Brembo equipped Nissan 350z. Unfortunately slapping big calipers and big rotors does not guarantee better brake performance.

Have you considered what this does to your brake bias? This may making stopping distances worse than stock if you trigger ABS sooner and the computer doesn't do a good job of redistributing the braking duties.
This is more of an appearance mod than a performance mod. With the weight distribtion that Audis have, they tend to punish front brakes. I've never seen a tracked Audi with distressed or overly worn rear brakes.

yes, and thats way I didn't go for the R8 rear caliper, and kept my old ones instead.
