Default Audi S8 D2 8 pot Caliper install

Hi All

It's been a while since I last posted anything, but I have done the research and now have a Brembo 8 pot Caliper setup with 365mm discs from an RS4 B7.

Next is to research whether I can upgrade the rears to 4 pot.

Nice! I looked at doing this a while ago but finding someone to make brackets to suit late s8 hubs proved a challenge so I gave up!

Hi I measured what I needed and then gave the details the an engineering firm that I know and they fabricated the brackets and then it was a simple bolt on of the RS Brembo 8 pots, I did however need 5mm spacers so the wheels cleared the calipers and custom made hoses.

If you are looking to have it done I could pass your details on to the chap that did mine.

I managed to pick the calipers up from a company that had surplus stock for £1000.00 per pair with pads and the 365mm discs were £600 ,the brackets and hoses £300 with labour at £600.00.
