I dont think I have ever seen breaks look that nice. Much better with pictures
hey thanks. Im definitely happy with how they turned out
Well, the S6 is finally road legal 
It is a complete blast to drive in Sport mode. Really feels like a ‘point and shoot’ rocket.

I had the powdercoated blue Brembo 18z’s mounted on the front, and they just didnt look right with the pearl white. It seemed to bring out a greenish tint in the white. I happen to have another pair of silver 18z’s kicking around, so I swapped them in. Not as flashy as the blue, but they suit the car better, I think. Rear rotors are from ECS, with new Hawk ceramic pads front and back. Braking right now seems weaker than my HP2 setup on the A6. Im guessing everything just needs some break-in.

On the RS6 Ill be going with some lightweight 19 inch wheels. So on the S6 I decided to bling it up with 20s. The bigger looking car can handle them visually, no problem. I still have to modify the wheel wells so I can space them out a bit, but they are fine for now.
The car is begging for the RS6 bodykit. I have it all ready to go, just have to find some money for paint and installation.
The stock S6 suspension was swapped for H&R coilovers. The springs that were removed from the S6 don’t look too old. I was looking for markings, but all I could find were some pink and brown stripes. Are these the stock C5 sport springs?
good stuff, the s6 looks nice. its cool seeing the resurgence in intertest for the S6 over on AZ
Yeah, in the last six months it has turned into an S6 focused forum in the C5 section. It seems to have started as the cars hit a rock bottom in pricing (under $10k), and the availability on the used market seems to have increased. I have a theory that this is due to
A) Avant owners seem to own their vehicles longer than sedan owners, and many are just coming up now from the first or second owner
B) Most people are afraid to own and maintain a 10+ year old Audi, which leads to the low prices
have any cars left?
I haven’t broken up the A6, as of yet. Im going to try to sell it as a whole. If it doenst sell by the end of July, then it will be chopped up for parts for the RS6 (which is sitting at the shop, waiting for a whole bunch of major work).
These cars really came together weell. Save the parts for the rs6… they are prone to have little bugs…stay ontop of them you will be ok… if not properly maintained tue rs6 can eat up big chunks of cash
Thanks for the advice. It is similar to that given to me from some other knowledgeable sources. I am just going to let the car sit at the garage until I have the money to get everything in tip-top shape, and get all the maintenance up to date. It wouldnt surprise me if I end up putting ten grand into it by the time it is ready. I just don’t want to rush it, and miss something that leads to a major issue. It is my first turbo car, so I definitely have a lot to learn.
