There is a set of fronts for the s8 on evil bay for just under 1k i was tempted by. Do you know if they would bolt straight on? And what other mods might be required to run ceramic calipers? Id be using steel discs for a while until i can get away with robbing an audi store for the proper discs.

Thanks Del, that was an interesting find.

I can't understand why I can't seem to find replacement Brembo pads, if they're a Brembo fitting?!?! I can find them for the non-ceramic discs, but not for the ceramic.

I'm afraid to ask what Audi would charge!

Audi wanted £1000 for the pads all round. I did not bother to ask if that included Vat and labour....
