Brembo upgrade question

tonyt102 · #1 30th November 2011, 04:57 PM

Hi all.

Found these on eBay and not sure if they'll fit my car? I have a 1999 face lift S8 with the different style brakes. Looking at getting the rear door cards and rear shelf for a blind upgrade too.

Thanks in advance.

Is that listing not for the hub?

Oops. He actually has the calipers listed elsewhere. I was looking at the hubs aswell as I thought I might have to change these too.

I've just been out to look and it appears that I have the 323mm versions so not sure if its a case of just a caliper and rotor or hub too?

I'm pretty sure it's a straight forward bolt on job, the caliper carriers should be the same.

So you'll just need the calipers and discs. What wheels do you have?

....and that's a VERY good price as well for the callipers.

Thanks for the reply.

I have 17" Avus, should be ok shouldn't it?

pretty sure they WON'T fit under 17s, but others may know

I was under the impression that these were fitted to later S8's which had the Avus alloys??? Could be wrong. I'm looking to get some FE alloys anyway but they're had to come by at a reasonable price.

The hubs may need changed, some of the early FL models had the same hubs as PF so these wouldn't fit. Do you know which brakes you have just now? There are a couple of options (the codes from the build sticker should tell you).

The hubs are aluminum if that makes a difference? I'll have to look at the codes when I get home.
