For those of us that have the ceramic brakes, you may find the following a interesting read

So the Audi 6 pot 'ceramics' are Brembo 19z, which were also available on Porsche. Therefore surely regular pads for steel discs must be available to fit that caliper. Just need to find a 380mm steel disc with the correct offset for when the time comes to replace the ceramics to steels and keep the existing 6 pot caliper.

Thats what i was thinking too

Just search the Brembo Gran Turismo Brake System Application List and they do a 380mm x 34 drilled. Part number 101.9003A

It's a two piece kit, but the original center bell from the ceramics could be used again for the correct offset for the D3 S8

As for the rears, just get W12 calliper carriers, W12 discs and regular pads.

Nice find, i see they also do other discs in the same size, not sure if the bells would match up though.

Came accross these too

That's an even better find, a complete plug and play kit.

Would your dad notice if you swapped with his?

Here's a set of Porsche Brembo 19z that are for sale, they are nearly identical to the S8's Ceramics. The bells wouldn't fit though, and you'd need a custom bracket. Gonna cost a lot!

These could be made to fit.

He wouldnt notice by looking i doubt but the feeling of stopping with cheese slices might give it away lol
