S5 braking system on A3

[TweetyBlu]

Hello guys,

i was wondering if the S5 braking system will fit the Audi A3, i'm asking this because i can buy such a system for very less money, the system would include the following:

Front Brake Discs
Rear Brake Discs
Front Calipers With 'S5' logo
Rear Calipers
Front Pads
Rear Pads
Front Carriers
Rear Carriers

Thanks,

Andi

One point that I'd flag (and of which you maybe already aware) is that the centre bore on the A5 / S5 hub is 66.56mm as apposed to the 57.1mm of the A3 8p. I would assume that the hubs would need to be remachined down - or different wheels used (with what is essentially a Merc PCD & centre bore fitment)

This is really sad news as i thought it would be a direct replacement.
