Not sure why this post lost the text...FOR SALE… Ultimate front brake upgrade for your D3 A8/S8. New, never installed 8-piston, 4 pad Brembo caliper set with full floating, 365mm cross drilled rotors mounted on aluminum hats. These are the same brakes listed by 2Bennett for $3495. Letting them go for $2995. Or, if you have a D3 S8, I will take in trade your OEM front calipers and drop the price to $2395, buyer pays shipping. Item is located in Santa Cruz, CA. Was planning on buying a D3 S8, but went in a different direction.

Those are too small for an D3 S8. D3 S8 V10 comes from factory with 385mm discs as do the D3 W12.
2,1-2,2 metric tonnes at 250-300km/h is just way too much for 365mm rotors.
V8 versions have 365mm and V6 versions 340mm, so those would be the viable buyers here, or smaller audis A4/S4, A5, A6/S6, A7.

Those brakes are unnecessary on these cars, torn up the canyons pretty good in my car with S8 brakes, and no problem at all with any fade. Not the place to sell those, either, that needs to be in the marketplace. I would suggest checking with where you bought them and see if you can get a return with the restocking fee.
