OEMpl.us: A8/S8 Ceramic Brake Conversion

[OEMplus.com]

Hi All,

If you want the ultimate stopping power, the Keramikbremsen carbon/ceramic composite brakes from quattro GmbH are just what the doctor ordered.







Translated from the Audi Deutschland website:
"Ceramic brakes offer not only quadruple the life span of conventional steel brakes, but also higher brake performance and high fading stability. After repeated braking, for example when driving on a sporting secondary road, the brake performance does not diminish.
"The unsprung rotary mass at the wheels are reduced by approximately 20 kg/45lbs (50%) over conventional brake disks and the result is noticeably higher driving dynamics and agility.
"AUDI ceramic brake disks consist of carbon-fiber reinforced ceramic. This material composition contains Silicon Carbide as the basic material, which is very hard and resistant to friction. In it are embedded high-strength carbon fibers, which effectively absorb material tension and stresses.
"The life span is quadrupled opposite an identically constructed brake disk from steel: The high abrasion resistance of the ceramic disks means a lifespan of up to 300,000km/185,000mi. Additionally, the extreme surface hardness of ceramic makes the brake disks resists road salt, corrosion and rust."

Kit is for front and rear and includes:

• 380x38mm drilled ceramic rotors, front
• 356x28mm drilled ceramic rotors, rear
• Six-piston monoblock Brembo calipers, front (grey metallic color with signature "AUDI ceramic" logo)
• Four-piston monoblock Brembo calipers, rear (grey metallic color)
• Composite brake pad set, front
• Composite brake pad set, rear
• All related lines & mounting hardware
• Installation instructions on CD

We are importing these packages directly from Audi AG and the kit price will be $27,500. Click here or on the pic below to order...

What about the Bentley 412mm brakes? Will they fit?

[OEMplus.com]

The Bentley Ceramics are 420x40mm and won't work for this car. They are an OEM rotor for the RS6 though... ;)

Do you have one that works for Q7? I don't want the 420mm one because that probably won't fit to my 20" wheels. I know Q7 V12 also equipped with 20" wheels but not all the 20" can fit in with the 420mm disc. I am looking for the 400mm one. Thanks!

Q7 uses a unique bolt pattern (5x130) along with a unique offset so other sets from different models are likely not going to work. The Q7 V12 TDI set does require a 20" wheel that works with the system obviously. Is there a reason why you don't feel your wheel would work?

If you were interested in the 420mm set I do have this available, PM or email: [email protected]

Cheers,

I just know that not all the 20" wheels will fit the 420mm disc. I don't want to purchase the ceramic brake then end up I also need to upgrade my wheels. Let me think about it and see there is a better option.

Thanks!
