Default a8 front brake setup

I am looking for information on a front brake setup for a 1999 a8( rotors,calipers & pads)
i remember seeing a porsche set up on the forum for the a8 which was somewhat economical.

Default Probably thinking of Paul's efforts.

When he gets back, perhaps he'll give us an update. Check Audipages to see what he's doing.<ul><li><a href="http://www.audipages.com/upgrades/birabrakeupgrade.html">A8 Brake Upgrade to BIRA.org System 6</a></li></ul>

Default Stasis also has a kit for the A8

.
See their "Street Sport Front" <A HREF="http://www.stasisengineering.com/brakes.htm">here</a>. I believe this uses the same 4-pot Brembo that's used on the S8.

I upgraded my S8 rears to the Stasis 298x20mm 2-piece rotor shown for their S4 "Track Sport" and "Motor Sport" Rear. With an S4 carrier and
a Stasis adapter, it was a perfect fit. The S4 and S8 use a different rear carrier, but the calipers are identical.
