Default Thnx Paul : )
Someone I knew had a complete set a while ago, but I passed on it. I didn't know if it would be much of an upgrade from my current setup, and I didn't know if it could be made to fit my A6. If the rotors are 345mm w/4-piston calipers, then it WOULD have been quite an upgrade. Maybe I should have picked it up

Default Will these fit what?
You can get just about any brake kit to fit any car, you just need to make the custom mounting brackets.

Wow, this forum has certainly de-classed itself by several notches.
