Default Disc size 2006 s8

Evening gents.
Ok so i have 380mm fronts and 330mm rears (approx but very close to)
But i cant seem to find any that size for my car. Any suggestions?
Looking to change in next few weeks as mine are cheese and stopping seems a bit hairy...
I want drilled only. Brembo or zimmerman.
Cheers muchly!

Very difficult to find front S8 385x36mm drilled. I think you're out of luck with Brembo or Zimmermann. Stoptech do a set;

Front Left fitment
128.33095CL
Front Right fitment
128.33095CR



Not sure about the rears. Will you also change pads and fluid? Any thoughts what you may go with?

I fitted ATE discs all round on my S8, imported from Germany with help from Marcin. They're not drilled but I figured that would increase brake dust and speed up corrosion so I'm happy with my choice. Audi fitment as well, so that was good enough for me.

Most importantly, they stop me smoothly, and very quickly

Apologies for the late reply Matt, been away in Lincolnshire all weekend.

The pads are ATE also, supplied by Marcin's guy

Annoyingly Brembo do a 390mm drilled disc for the 08-11 rs6.

Any thoughts on bolt on compatibility??

Mattylondon.
Cheers have mailed a company regards front and rear stoptech drilled.
Yes i will do fluid and pads as well. No idea which flavour to go with pad wise. Never been into cars really. Bikes yes id always go with performance friction pads and brembo fully floating discs. But i doubt a 320mm x5mm disc will cut it on the s8. Lol
