New caliper time.

My calipers are painted black, that'll equal a couple of hundred extra pounds from Audi!

Are all S8 rear calipers the same?

Howdy Duffy, you may say that in jest but that's exactly what Audi do, charge you twice the price for an S8 one because they paint it black! I checked with A8 Parts when I had to replace one of mine and they confirmed they're the same so I bought an A8 one for £300 instead of paying £600 for an S8 one. I'm quite capable of painting it with some black paint when I get the chance to do so

So if you do end up buying one don't let them tell you otherwise, the A8 calliper will fit your S8
