Hi Ape,
Do you do any other brake options.
My disks are coming to end of life so will be needing to change this year. As much as I’d love these I do not have that sort of money. Wondered if your able to maybe help me though or even any advice for me what I should look for. Or am I best just replacing
You have CCB front discs? As of now, there are no replacements for the 380x38mm CCB disc with an iron rotor. Plus they’d be really, really heavy. I may have one source for something, let me reach out. Just know there’s a shortage, industry wide, of iron rotors. The foundries are experiencing a major disruption in raw materials so if there isn’t something in stock, it likely won’t be soon.
Do me a favor Mick, shoot me an email. sales@redmistracing.com.
Also know the price is in USD and being in England, you’d have a favorable exchange rate. Would come out in the neighborhood of £4700 with no import tax.
Thanks Ape, still alot but that’s more within range of consideration. I’ll fire you an email over and if you have some options that would be great.
So far I found ECS ones and was looking at RS6 ones as quite alot of RS6 here in UK in salvage yards
Sent you an email!
But to clarify for everyone else who may read this post, that price is for a PAIR of rotors, not each, so about 60% the cost of new OEM CCB discs. The ST rotors I offer are at a lower cost yet it’s a far superior disc in every measurable performance parameter with a wider selection of compatible pads to dial in your preferred braking feel.

Yorkshire_mick, when looking at the C5 RS6 rotors and pricing, make sure you are looking at cross drilled ones, they make them in non-cross drilled.
If I had the money right now I’d definitely go with Redmist Carbon replacements, a set for my RS5 and a set for my RS6. But I’m engine shopping and retirement house shopping so in other words I’ll be broke soon enough.
I’d love the ones from Ape but money is the prevention on that.
Steve on here mentioned his Reylands on his and they seem around price I was hoping. I think I’ll likely go with them.
But priorities first, stage 2 from Ape is what I’m hoping to get first and hopefully soon now. Then I’ll get brakes when I need them more 
Oh man, I JUST sold my Reylands in the UK. I purchased a set for measurement purposes and had been trying to sell them for a year, LOL. Were brand spanking new at a discount but an RS5 owner in the UK just purchased them. They’re a very solid option and home grown so I’d go with them.
And just to clarify Mick, you have 8-piston front calipers correct? Black in color?
Correct black in colour
Ah ok I was initially confused and thought you had front CCB discs/calipers. So any of the 380x34mm offerings will fit just fine and all come with spacers and new caliper bolts. But being in the UK, stick with Reyland. They’re a great product.

Thanks Ape, I think I’ll likely go Reylands. I do take alot of tips from you guys and seems this is another good shout.
Do Reylands do a drilled and grooved option do you know.
I’ll drop them a line I think
They do plain and J-hook (a type of slotted) for sure. I’d stay away from drilled. Does nothing for braking performance and can be a point of failure if not cast in. Plus you’re removing lots of mass that way which is the opposite of what you want. Go slotted (j-hook) or plain.
Interesting, I always thought drilled helped keep them cool.
The J hooks I think I need to see on a car first, never used j hook disks before so not seen them on a car
I see options for straight, curved or J hook.
I’m so far behind the times haha since when did disks have so many options 
£875 for Reylands so saving myself a few pennies too going this route.
I’m presuming for the rears I would need the below
Originally AP Racing came up with the j-hook concept I believe. I think it provides the benefits of slots without the noise or pad wear but just guessing on that front. And correct, you’ll need the 330x22’s for the rear.
Awesome thanks Ape
I have Jhook on mine look ace I love the look they stop really well time after time.
The Jhooks are the most agresive option but will out perform the curved slotted and slotted they are also quieter than the slotted types, I spoke to Raylands in depth about this when I got mine !
