If not, Does anyone have drawings, dimensions for the hats and brackets. Im putting the brakes on my soon-to-do list.

Also, anyone do this for the rears as well? If so, whats involved?

I installed it on the rear of my S8. If the bracket mounting bolts are the same, it'd fit an A8 also.

Getting anything from BIRA takes a LONG time. Great kit, but I would look at something else personally.

Why not find a S8 that is in the bone yard, buy the front end and brakes.....

Any detectable difference in braking from this, Randy?

I am going to upgrade my brakes so S8 calipers and rotors (D2)

Last night i finally had a chance to sit down and finish the design in SolidWorks. I should have the first article back early next week.

I have a great C&amp;C guy. So i am hoping to have then available for around $175 for a set.

Email me at jason@partsscore.com if your interested.

I love that program. Designing is so much easier now.

Seems like you'd need S8 uprights, or a custom rotor with a BIRA type adapter, and that it'd likely be an <a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a8/msgs/118476.phtml">Expensive Project</a>.

IMHO, the S8/A8 has too much front brake bias. That larger rotor in the rear shifts bias back enough that the fronts don't lock into ABS prematurely.

Are the mounts for the 2000 1/2 - 2003 A8/A8Ls brakes the same as the S8? Might be a cheep alt. to finding the S8 brakes.

You wouldnt mind sending me the models would you say in .iges or .x_t form. I'll donate my skills to run ANSYS FEA on them if you want.
