Default Seeking Brembo front discs - any clues??

Hi guys

I'm trying to get my hands on some new front discs for the S8. Specifically Brembo 345mm discs. No one seems to stock them at the moment (usual websites) and I'm desperately trying to avoid the stealers. A few options on eBay but only single discs and potentially dubious quality/authenticity.

Does anyone have a secret stash???

Thanks

mossy

Richard - do try the stealers for a price at least. They weren't too bad for the pads - I bought them from Audi Northampton.

BTW - get that photo swapped - you have it 9 months and it's still parked outside my house!

Retail from TPS is £135.12 each for the discs and £203 for the pads.

+1 although I think stocks can be a bit variable.....

I usually get a healthy discount from TPS - worth popping in with the S8 in tow - they don't see them often and if they're enthusiasts they'll often try and look after you

Murrays Direct are very good. But see this thread for similar issues and comments:

I have always bought Brembo discs from ebay no problem so far. Always arrived in original Brembo box with warranty slips or whatever those bits of paper are.
Always best to go for a pair.

Front pads should be way less than £100, I found them before on ebay for something like £50. Brembo pads.

You are right, I can't find any 345 discs on ebay either.

These look like the right pads.

Check out Ainar's recommendation, I think several people use Zimmerman discs here?

I think I found something, this appears to be the right disc, Bosch brand. Check part No.s

https://www.autodoc.co.uk/bosch/6908...hYYaAqZl8P8HAQ

I wonder if Q5 discs offset is the same as the S8 D2? I know the pads are useless but the price is good for the discs. Perhaps something for us all to find out for the future?
