Brake novice here so please bare with
 im after a good brake setup for the S8, ideally drilled and grooved brake discs and pads anyone know where i can to order a set, even some kind of upgrade over standard discs and pads any thoughts? what to go with, low dust pads? The garage im using are stuggling to find anything over OEM also can someone tell me if they are Brembo brake discs and pads the OEM brakes that came from factory Would RS6 C5 brakes fit an S8 but you need the calipers?

Someone may answer reference upgrades but the the FL S8s had Brembo calipers on the front with 345mm x30mm discs. (This is noted on the Build sticker as 1ZL). Rears were 280mm x 22mm with calipers by Lucas.
Brembo parts Nos are: Front Discs 09.7941.11 Pads P85 053 Brembo dont now do the rear discs (used to be 09.7196.10) but they do provide pads - P85 020.

While I don't dispute the quality of Brembo pads, I suspect they aren't low dust. Any of the Ceramic compounds are good for low dust. EBC Red Stuff pads have a good reputation. I have a set, but haven't fitted then yet.
Hawk HPS also have a good low dust reputation. Slotted, dimpled and/or drilled disks in various combinations - go Adams Rotors. If Bendix made a 'Euro' or 'General CT' pad for the S8, I'd recommend those too! With Pads - the S8 takes the same pad as a Porsche 993T. You may come across a listing for the Porsche which hasn't cross referenced to the S8 (I haven't found any yet!)
