There is a tech article (linked) which states:
"...269mm x 20mm rear A8 upgrade kit will work on the following cars:
... allroad: AWD, 2.7T ..."
It uses the b5 s4 rear calipers, and the a8 rotors/caliper brackets.
I'm thinking of doing this on my ar (which unfortunately has the not-so-great non-vented rear rotors). Was it worth the effort?<ul><li><a href="https://www.audiworld.com/tech/wheel1.shtml">https://www.audiworld.com/tech/wheel1.shtml</a</li></ul>

You got me wondering if you could buy rebuild calipers from an auto parts store, and return allroad calipers for core. I don't know if chain auto part stores even sell Audi parts?
