Default just bought an S8 and want to upgrade the brakes

I love the brakes on the front ofmy car ut the rear just arent cutting it. And what was audi thinking when they put Brembo calipers up front on girling or whatever in the rear. I want to upgrade the rear with brembo but don't know what calipers would work well or which ones would possibly bolt on. Any suggestions???

How are you going to get the parking brake to work?

Default BTW, I looked at an RS4 up on a rack yesterday.

The brakes are yummy.

Default They way they were driving those things at the streets of tomorrow....

....was pretty insane. It was at the Soldier's Field parking lot, they were getting sideways throwing it at the end of their 14 second run, with two more sitting there and people allowed to stand in direct line with the "track".

I wouldn't be surprised if something happened a long the way.

Default My RS4 ride included some pretty heavy understeer at Soldier Field...

I was kinda bummed.

Default Was SOT in Chicago last weekend?

If so, I bet this happened there.

They had a pic of the impact. Guy slid the car into a curb.
