Default audi a8 brakes?

I had a minty low mileage 93 a few years back that i had to sell due to moving. i still miss that car and regard it as the best I've ever owned. I may be in a place in a couple of months to pick up another one. i remember that the brakes always felt a little weak sauce. just sold an a4 with a8 12.3" rotors up front. they felt pretty good in combination with the braided hoses. just wondering if these can be fit to UrS cars. i have no inclination whatsoever to go get some porker calipers for financial reasons (don't think the bang/buck is there)

tried search and nothing really definitive shows up?

There was the BIRA System 1 that used Boxster calipers and A8 rotors and that is about it. Apikol now makes brackets for this application. However, there is no G60 caliper and A8 rotor trick like the Audi 100/A6s can do with the G54 single piston caliper and and A8 rotors.
