Looking for a brake upgrade for my 2005 b7 2.0tdi.
Would 2002 audi a8 4.2 discs and calipers fit?
They are 320mm discs and twin pot calipers
Thanks in advance!

Not sure if they would fit TBH but I upgraded my brakes the cheap way. I got a pair of 312mm disks and callipers from a 3.0 A4 and they just bolted straight on, no messing about. Tell a difference straight away.
 
Yeah I would do the same as Karl if I were you. You can use A4 2.0t brakes too (there 312mm, and they are great, I have them), or you could go bigger and use S4 or Porsche Cayenne brakes.

With the A8 brakes you'll probably have to change more parts to make them work (I.e the brackets that hold the calipers to the hub)
