Hi guys!

My first post!

I have a problem, I have a s8 from 2000 originally fitted with manual GB (not many out there) and 360mm front disc brakes (very rare as well, I understand) which came as an option for the FL model.
I'm having problem finding these rotors new, since mine are warped and needs replacement.. :/
Also, rear brake rotors are 269mm and will probably need replacement soon as well.

From what I understand, VW Phaeton seems to have the same 360mm rotors, as well as d3 s8 has 360mm rotors but I haven't managed to confirmed that these will fit bolt on on my Audi so I created an account in this forum to as you guys for help!

And next thing; brake pads. Which will fit? Front, and as well in rear.

Hope someone can answer me or at least point me in right direction

Thank for an awesome forum guys, have spent hours reading here until now when I finally created an account!

Cheers!

Correction:

Rear rotors might be 280mm. I'm not sure now..
I will take measurements to be sure when I get the opportunity!

280mm are standard FL S8 rears such as CENTRIC 12533056
USA FL S8 fronts are 345mm such as CENTRIC 12533073
Those part numbers are worth mentioning as Centric has nice specs and drawings you can google up.
Does your car have the radial mount Brembo front calipers?

Front looks like this:

Rims are 20inch, and calipers huge.
I know, not the best photo, but it was dark when I took it.
When I have time I will even remove the wheel.
I tried many forums, and not many even believe that s8 d2 came with 360mm front discs..

You prolly right about the rear discs, they are likely 280mm!

Look about like stock 345's with the caliper painted gold but it's hard to tell from a pic. Might as well measure them.

Well... when I have time I will remove the wheel and take photo with measuring tape next to it..

:P

After much searching, I found this:

360mm 32mm 5/112 PR:1LJ
TEVES 615-045.

Where can I find these?

Strokie

Paid for an full account for 24 hours to get more information.

It seems there are 2 different 360mm brake discs for s8 FL..
Not sure which ones I have, will remove wheel later today to check if its 32 or 34 mm (armoured).

If these are the factory brakes, the build sticker should be able to tell you. Has anyone with ETKA checked by VIN? Unless these are not stock, this shouldn't be difficult.

Ok, I removed the wheel and measured the disc. It's 345mm like on other s8's.

I really feel stupid now..
But last owner told me it's 360mm, and special to the model. And then the parts catalog I found "confirm" it might be so!

Anyways, now I have no trouble finding new discs since the one currently inst are warped.

Many thanks for assistance!
