What splash shield. I don't see any splash shield.

Most likely an RS7 one wouldn't fit the RS3 hub so just remove the original.

Other than that just the new disc and new calliper brackets.

I can see this catching on with a group buy.
Minimum of 2 people with each additional person gives an extra 10% discount.
10 people in total gives 80% discount.

You couldn't increase braking on the rear as then the brake bias would need to be altered.

So if your electronic Caliper packs up you'll not claim under the warranty ??

 

What happens if people make the switch to the 356 dia RS7 discs, then they go scored / have an issue ? it happens on the fronts so why not the rears ? 

 

Audi ain't gonna be interested........

 

I'm damn sure the owner ain't gonna keep forking out 1k to keep replacing them either..........

 

Not when you can go buy standard rears for £70 off the shelf or as some owners have done use the £100 Mtec rears.
