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

Just now checked out the C6 RS6 390mm discs v D3 S8 and interestingly some critical dimensions are the same. Both are 36mm, overall depth is 59.7mm, centre is 68mm, both PCD 5/115mm.

Can't tell if that extra 2.5mm will touch the S8 caliper, and whether the C6 fixed 6 pots v the D3 twin pot floating caliper makes a difference

I would imagine the rs6 6 pot calipers would be an upgrade. Given that the lambo and other sportier cars run the 6 pots.
See i dont wanna pay out for discs and pads at arou d 600 - 700 if i can add a little bit more for maybe an upgrade. Id seriously look i to the rs6 kit as they also ran a 5.2 v10.

Main dealer are pretty useless and know next to feck all. Was in yesterday asking questions such as what can i bolt on from other models. The guy just looked at me in horror!!
He said just ate oem discs. Lol
