    Afternoon
    My 2011 c6 is all up together now
    Looking at possibly doing a big brake conversion up front. Nothing wrong with stock brakes. Just playing with the idea.
    Any advice much appreciated

    I have 19" standard wheels with the 347mm front discs.
    I believe i can go 365mm?
    Not looking at spending 2k so may not be worth the bother.

    Thank

    I think you hit the nail on the head - its down to cost vs improvement.

    If your discs are more than half worn it might be worth grooved/drilled replacements with some grippier / kevlar pads. Otherwise I would wait until they are due or spend the £2-3k for uprated calipers for another 20% performance? The other option is used S6 /RS6 parts but they aren't going to be cheap and you may need other smaller parts to make them fit.

    Think you may be correct, may not be worth the hassle

    At least you don't have air suspension to worry about on yours. Now that's a whole heap of hassle

    Just thought it wouldcbe a nice mod. Nothing wrong with stock set up, just thought they would set the car off nice.
