Default 255mm Rear Brake Upgrade...help!!!

So, I've searched and here are the part numbers I came up with:

8E0-615-425-A B6/A4 3.0Q caliper brackets, rear
4B0-615-601-B C5/A6 3.0q 255mmx10mm rotors, rear

3 Questions:

1) Is this right?

2) Where can I get the caliper brackets?

3) I looked on ECS tuning and they're asking for offset, does anyone know what it is?

I'm getting the A8 upgrade and was going to go to stock rotors in the rear, but if I can get bigger rotors in the back for a marginal amount of money, I'd like to do it.

Default answers..

1) Yes those are the right part numbers

2)The caliper brackets are hard to come by, they are actually currently backordered around the country, with more on the way from Germany. The solution is to go online to www.partsvoice.com or similar sites and search by the part number. PartsVoice was helpful for me and after calling a few dealerships around the country I got one caliper bracket shipped from Texas and the other one from Quebec. I would just have some patience as it took me a few weeks to come by these brackets.

3) ECS doesn't use part numbers but the offset you are looking for is 1.5", I blindly guessed and got it right but I was worried.

Hope this helps
