Is this the exact same kit in the picture? I was just wondering if the rotors are also from Porsche. If so, this is a very good price. I might be interested.

Thanks

Will the 12.3" rotors fit in 16" wheels?

Default Rotors will, but I don't think that is the case with Big Red calipers...

Stock A4 rotots
276mm - 10.87 in

A8 rotors, which are ok to use on A4
314mm - 12.36 in

S4 Rotors
321mm - 12.64 in

However Porsche 996 big red calipers will probably not fit on 16 in wheels. Actually they may not fit on some 17 in wheels. Checkout bira.org http://www.bira.org/ for the details on a similar setup. System 1 is 986 Boxter calipers, System 2 is 996 Carrera. They have a list of wheels which will and will not fit.<ul><li><a href="http://www.bira.org/">Braking Improvement Research Association</a></li></ul>
