Thanks Mike - I have a few other things to spend money on before I get in to brake upgrades, but obviously buying the calipers and discs is a fairly substantial investment and they're bound to need a refurb and paint before fitting.
Not sure the RS4 calipers are mounted the same as the Phaeton as I recall that if you want to use the plain Phaeton discs on an RS4 you have to swap the bells to get the alignment right? It sounds like they're not going to be a million miles away from fitting so worth finding some. There's a couple of sets on one of the other Audi forums at about £400-450 but they look well used. There was a member on here selling some a while back but funds were lacking at the time.... Need to measure my current discs and see how much life they have left in them as it's probably something I'll look to do when the current brakes need replacing. Adrian

No, it needs an adapter fabricating. Per post #4, on an FL S8 with Brembos its basically a flat plate since they are both radial mount calipers.
Your A8 has axial mount calipers so you will need a right-angle bracket to fit them. It might be worth looking in to whether anyone has created a bracket to use these calipers on a B5 S4 or C5 S6. If so they will be close but will still need modification as the rotor offset is unique on the D2.

Mikki thanks!
I will surely go the easiest way and use the complete D3 brake system for front and rear and hope that it will also fit my winter wheels set, which is 17 inch  Fron ist a bolt-on fit, and adapter for the rear (which I will acquire soon!)

Pushing it with 365mm inside 17s! Good luck
 How will you handle the electronic handbrake on the D3 rear calipers?
