    Bigger A8-type disc?

    Is there a disc available with the same dimensions as the 323x30 A8 disc, except with a larger diameter?

    Armoured A8/S8 uses a brembo sourced 345x30mm disc, about £130 a pair from proven products if i remember...

        Just under £100 from the stealer, each that is. Got a pair waiting to go on the S6 once we have bigger wheels. They will fit within a 17" but not with a 996 Carrera Monoblock, you would need the 6 pot from the GT3.

            Question is why would you want larger than 323 with the Porsche Mono Blocks?

            With Ferodo Pads they're stonking.

              Brakes can never be big enough If i had some brackets made up for my hi-spec calipers i guess i could use those 345mm disks as they are the same width??

                Tom,

                Yep! They are identical except larger diameter.
                PM me if you are interested in a set.

                      This looks like a good viable option as the discs retail for about 71+VAT each from Audi!! Then i have the cost of the brackets, but that is only gonna be 20 quid i guess LMAO. I wish!! I have some spare box section from my crossmember, i could make my own

                      345x30 discs!! Should fill the 18" wheels up a bit better!

                        They must weigh a ton though.
                        The 323's are heavy enough

                          Yeh! pretty heavy for a disc but the weight is offset (on the S6) by the removal of the stupidly heavy HP2 caliper setup as standard.
                          I like the thought though of a heavy one piece cast disc though, they make a very effective heat sink which helps to prevent the discs warping. So they can be abused more!!!

                            I couldn't get over the weight difference between the 323mm disc and the split bell/rotor I took off my car!

                              Which was heavier?? The 314mm discs are damn heavy. Even Big red discs are heavy as hell.
