    Ceramic brakes to steel brakes with ceramic calipers

    Hi,

    I recently bought R8 2009 with audi ceramic brakes. Car has 90 000km and ceramic are all worn out. My garage says i need desperately to replace brakes as they are going to brake.

    Question:

    - Can i just buy regular steel brake discs and proper brake pads and use audi ceramic calipers?
    - Do i need to replace everything: brake calipers, brake discs and brake pads?

    thanks!

    your ceramic rotors should still be good. I would only change out the pads with new ceramic pads..
