Default Pictures of my A4 with rear A8L brakes.

Here are some pictures of my A8L rear brake upgrades:

Default Would this setup work...

...with stock 16" sport wheels? (The 7-spokes)

Thanks!

I think so those are only 17" wheels...knock 0.5" off each side and it still looks doable

I believe it works with the 7-spoke sport wheel.

Default I'm trying to see if I can market this as a kit.

Count me in when your ready. I already have the American spec A8's on the front, this would balance out the system.

If you won't be offering it as a kit, could you email the drawings of the brackets?
I know of a good prototype house around these parts to cobble me up a set.

Parts list would come in handy as well.

Thanks,

Jeff Davison

ps. a kit would be a no muss no fuus way to go. BTW what is a muss?

No fear, if the kit will not be marketed, then I will write a FAQ about it.
