Hello all, looking to buy FCP rotor/brake kit (https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/audi-brake-kit-zimmermann-4g0615301gkt18) due to their warranty. Do you know if I just need to change the pads many years from now, can I just buy the pads or the ENTIRE kit to get a replacement?
Also, I see some people on the forums running larger rotors. Am I able to on a 2014 Audi A7 TDI (site calls for: Front and Rear, For Models w/ 345MM Front Brake Discs & 330MM Rear Brake Discs)

You can replace the entire kit or replace individual items as they wear it is up to you. Whenever I need new pads, I get new rotors as well :)

Think the prefacelift TDIs did have the smaller fronts discs. Do your calipers look like the 3.0 SC cars?

I believe mine does look like that in the front. The previous owner put brake caliper covers on them, and ever since, I've kept them on. Going to take them off this next change to let my brakes breathe. All of my rotors have grooves in them and they pulsate when I brake hard.

Here's what I mean about the prefacelift having different fronts from the rest of the C7 line.

Not a negative, just different. The TDI guys may know more if the rotors are interchangeable. I read this on the forums and kinda assumed my 16 would be like that but I think facelift Audi just used the same brakes as the other 3.0s.

Oh yeah, I have prelift. Thought you meant the front brake calipers
