Look quite smart, dont they? Never seen these before, shame the're not cast with the grooves though [img]images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] Would probably only last one trackday before warping [img]images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I'm looking to replace my fronts in the near future but don't want to go for a Porsche upgrade yet. There does seem to be a lack of availability for replacements on the late S4.
So much so that I am contacting brakes international which is local to me with a design I have just made. I doubt they will be too interested but I'll let you know if anything comes from it. Naturally X drilled....

Only get cross drilled if it's cast into the rotor....otherwise they will crack.

I quite agree mate, but only if you don't regularly maintain them - clean the holes, rotors, calipers, and deglaze the pads every 1k miles. Got 20k miles out of mine, and still going strong [img]images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] (I know mine are Sportec 380mm, but they are all made by Brembo anyway [img]images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img])
