Could anyone help tell me if these are front or rears ?? Have googled that number but doesn't come up with anything and the guy doesn't know what they came from :(

Cheers lads :)
 
I believe the fact they're lug mount rather than radially mounted means they're probably not off a Porsche. If I had to guess, I'd say they're quite likely to be off a Peugeot 406 Coupe. If I'm right in thinking that, then sadly they'll be of little or no use on an Audi. (The Peugeot bolt spacing's not a match for Audi hubs, and the lugs clash making an adapter very difficult.)
 
Ah cool, I'd still stick with them probably being 406 coupe ones, although I can't find a part number for them they look utterly identical. Ignore my comment about adapters being difficult because thinking about it, when I was considering if an adapter was possible and measured a friends set, I was aiming for small disks to fit under 15" wheels, so for a bigger disk and wheel combination they're more than likely completely possible.
 
@RobinJI, I think you may be right. I had 406 coupe brembo converted to fit my saxo vts turbo I built and they look alike indeed. Not 100% sure as im using my phone and picture isn't great to see
 
Loads of Brembo calipers use the same pads, you'll probably find those pads will also fit some Porsches, a Mk1 Focus RS, a 406 an Alfa and Fiat or 2 and a few other cars. The calipers are the same other than the mounts and piston sizes between quite a lot of cars.
 
yeh robin is right here
ive found that while looking at pads for my lcr set up
pads are shared with focus rs
406 etc
however the pad material thickness differs so be careful
lcr from memory was 14mm
alfa gta which will physically fit into the caliper were 18mm thick
so would rub on disc at all times
best advice here is get lcr set up
