depends on the brake calipers if Brembo 2 pads per wheel and 345 rotor which I think is what you have for that year caliper should have Brembo logo on them
If Lucas Girling calipers its 323 rotors with 4 pads per wheel
but this is normally found on the 2000-2003 A8L which I have easily identified by the caliper springs on top of the calipers and the number of pads
hope this helps

My 2001 SWB A8 has the ATE/Lucas 4-pad setup. I think the S8 should have Brembos and 345mm rotors.
