If you have noticed unusual noises coming from your brakes, take the time to check your Audi RS6 brake rotors and pads. RS6 brake rotors, sometimes referred to as brake discs, are an important part of your car's braking system. Audi RS6 brake rotors are solid metal discs that serve as a hub for generating the friction your brakes use to stop.

The entire braking system consists of brake hose and lines, brake calipers, and brake pads along with your RS6 brake rotors. When pressure is exerted on the brake pedal, the force is sent through the hydraulic brake fluid to the calipers, which act as clamps to hold the pads against the Audi RS6 brake rotors.

There are two brake pads for each RS6 brake rotor, one on either side. The simultaneous clamping of the brake pads allows the Audi RS6 brake rotors to stop uniformly. The friction created between the pads and the RS6 brake rotors generates a great amount of heat, which your Audi RS6 brake rotors dissipate. The rotating motion of the RS6 brake rotors also serves to throw off water and mud, keeping your brake components clean. The most common problem with Audi RS6 brake rotors occurs when the brake pads are not changed as necessary. Once the brake pads have worn through the lining, the RS6 brake rotors scrape against the metal backing plate instead of the softer frictional lining material. Your Audi RS6 brake rotors will also wear or damage faster if your car uses metallic brake pads. In order to properly care for your RS6 brake rotors, you should change your brake pads when the lining drops below a quarter-inch thickness.If you do need new Audi RS6 brake rotors, you can find them right here in our online catalogue at a great discount price.
