    Do RS5 wavy rotors fit pre-facelift car?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hi

    I've had a Google and forum search but can't seem to find a consistent answer to this question - do the facelift wavy rotors (front and rear) for an RS5 fit the pre-facelift version of the car?

    When I've enquired about the rotors parts suppliers seem to think only the pre-facelift round versions will fit the pre-facelift car. Any help appreciated.

    Thanks

    Aren’t they the same diameter and same caliper? Then surely they will fit.

    They're same diameter, assume the same caliper. Just wanted to double check it's definitely ok - expensive mistake if not!

    do not buy those and put them on your car. they will most likely warp before 5k miles of use. i went through 4 sets in less than 20k miles and never abused them.

    I never had an issue with the wave rotors, I wonder if they altered the design or used different pads in Euro spec cars?
