Anyone V8's with HP2 brake conversion?
I recently found an article where a guy swapped on HP2 2 piston 4 pad calipers with Audi A8 4.2l rotors right onto his V8. Looks like amazing braking with much less weight, I'd like to hear more.

Yep I can vouch for this one...
I did an HP2 upgrade on my 100 quattro....With a turbo...
I drove the thing down the hill at around 60-70 and hammered the brakes...!!! WOW!!!!
Thing stopped on the DIME!!!
I had to modify the whole thing however.
Some one on here had pictures once of what is involved to do this swap...hope he/she pops up ...

the Disk I am using is a 314 disk from the Audi allroad.

Yes, are those stock struts, and did you need
To make a caliper spacer/bracket?
That looks exactly, 100% like what I want to do. I was told that an HP2 caliper bolts up to the stock UFO V8 bracket but would require a tiny 8in rotor, so I think either 100 is different or you swapped the struts? Either way, it'd be totally worth it for the light aluminum 4 pad HP2 brake.

...some more answers..
Yes those are stock audi 100 struts..BUT ...TAKE VERY CAREFULL NOTICE!!!!!
Those are UNIQUE and I DO MEAN ONE OF A KIND calipers...
I made them to prove that I could do this after no one believed,..me...then I asked if anyone might be interested...seems like no one took it serious...sooo...
Anyway that which you see is a ONE of a kind set up ..that is the ONLY car in the world that has this set up...YOU CANNOT DO THIS WITH ANY OTHER AUDI 100 or 200 or V8.
I only show this to show that these brakes are way superior to anything oringal (single G54, dual G60 or even UFo calipers).
What people can do however is try to get a C4 suspension arm and a Euro S4/S6 HP2 and try to retrofit such a system.
