Audi r8 brakes on s3 8l???

[tyson]

Has anyone put r8 brakes on an s3? If so is it a good option?

Costly option..... bells won't fit... different offset and PCD... no brackets I would imagine for fitting calipers and far too many cheaper alternative setups to make it viable unless given a set of course...

I saw a set of R8 brakes for sale somewhere, I wonder if this is why you want to know

Been done on the newer models but never on an 8L. For pretty much the reasons above

surely not... Genuine Audi R8 Ceramic Brake Set F+R | eBay lol

scroll down and theres some cheaper sets

Kinda overkill IMO I wouldn't consider ceramics.

tuffty's set up is a good un and keeps the weight down.

Not sure if the brakes were different for the V8 and V10 models but I suspect the 4 pots are for the rear and the 6 pots for the front.

R8 come with 8 pot front and 4 pot rear!
