Audi 8 Pot calipers fitting question and disc choice?

[gareth215]

Hi, i just bought what I thought was quite a cheap set of Audi B7 RS4 8 pot calipers on ebay but there does not seem to be any means to bolt them to the car, I think the "carriers" must be missing anyone have any idea on a part number and if Audi sell them independantly of the caliper its self?

Also I want to upgrade the discs I understand VW W12 Phaeton disks are the same as B7 RS4 discs just without the drilled holes can anyone confirm this as they will be a fair bit cheaper.

Thanks

I believe the W12 phaeton disks are the same dimensions, but the central bell/hat is a different offset, so it would mean mounting the disk on a B7 bell. I remember hearing some discussion on this but don't know if any got fitted.

oh well looks like the plan for cheaper discs has failed!

You should know nothing is cheap for these bloomin things
I've got what i thought to be a few bargains in the past but it never seems to quite work out.

You'll love the new brakes though

AFAIK the carriers cannot be bought seperately
