My brakes are fine do there job an everything but there dwarfed by the wheels. Does anyone know the easiest an cheapest way to bigger brakes. Maybe from another audi? Guess i will need to change caliper holders an that?

the cheaped brake upgrade would be the S4 brakes but wut kind of wheels do you have, becasue when u upgrade brakes the calipers may not clear the wheels anymore

The best upgrade is a BIRA setup.

www.bira.org

Lots of choices on their site, but as most kits a bit expensive.

Or put together a kit yourself. Use:

A8 rotors - new
Porsche Boxster calipers - used with new pads
SS lines - new
Custom brackets made by billzcat.

Ask him - he'll custom make anything. I have a set of his brackets to mount these parts to my '93 V8 and the brackets are really well done. Quality pieces.

Good luck.

Got a set of 18s so i think 330mm is the biggest i cud get on. But i dont want em that big. S4 brakes sound good, just want them for the look more than anything. What would i need to fit s4 brakes? I can get the discs, pads an calipers fairly easy but will i need new carriers? Bira look really good but prob more money than i want to spend.
