I agree with Psyche they do look very open for an 8 but, as Architex said, with a set of AP's or a B7 RS4 brake conversion they would look the dogs nads.

Yeah, just spray/paint your calipers in a colour of your choice. I chose red.

No... the trouble is the standard back brakes ARE weedy... Though a match for the weedy fronts

In my limited experience, the S8 brakes are spot on, for road use at least, unlike the stock S4 brakes which were absolutely sh1te.

In fact, the S8 rears are a well trodden upgrade path for S4 owners - now there's a thought : what have you guys used to upgrade the rear brakes...?
