D2 upgrade brake from VW Phaeton
This thread is for A8, S8 is a very similar.
8 pot brembo with floating 365mmx34mm rotor for front and 335mmx22mm rotor with floating caliper for rear. Firstly you need make a plate for correct offset for new disc and caliper:   For rear is more complicated, firstly you need to take off wheel bearing housing and cut some meat(aluminium).  Again to make plate for correct offset and bolt place.    Next you need a sting from long wheel base D2, to make handbrake work.  At the end is good to change master brake cylinder from rs6(26.99mm vs 25.4mm stock) for this mode is need to make nut for on of tube because for rear section A/S8 have 8mm vs 10mm rs6 tube and get expanded tank from A4 to fit to the car. After this mode the car have brutal braking.

Good info!
 Does upgrading the rear calipers make much difference, or is that done just to maintain the right front-to-rear braking forces?
