?
as-in, I just call up the dealer and say "I want TT carriers", and get some A8 rotors on the net, and I'm all set?

regards,
Liam

For the fronts, yes. The rears take S4 calipers and some modification...I think.

The "A8 upgrade" is A8 calipers + A8 rotors or just A8 rotors?

Default rotor and bracket to move the caliper away from the hub
so it fits around the larger rotor

Default Thats it, unless you want new pads...
... for the Carriers and the Discs, the best price I've found from VW/Audi dealers is $839CDN after taxes. I'm waiting for my fronts to need replacing before I do the upgrade.
