My 2011 audi a8l that has 380mm rotors in front instead of 356mm as some do,

im due for new pads n rotors for the front could i buy 356mm rotor n pad set would that work or is caliper going to be different aswell ?

the reason for doing this is the 356mm rotors are alot cheaper then 380mm which u can only get at audi.

thanks

Unfortunately you cannot swap out for the smaller rotors unless you change the brake calipers too

MP4.2+6.0

356 is a rear size. Rears are conventional cast iron. Front are the unusual floating pin center hat type. Different calipers, different bolt up points, computer brake calculations for ABS/ESP set to brake rotor set up, etc.

Mehhh, looks like ill just have to bite the bullet and spend About 700 on new pads and rotors

Rotors and pads, but I do see the smaller rotor listed you mentioned, it is listed for the front, but the part is discontinued. Not sure why, may bear further investigation before spending the money.

im gonna buy the original one that came on the car 380mm

some a8s came with 356mm in Front i was hoping to buy those but i dont want to change calipers n all that

I don't think any D4 A8's had 356 in the front. Those are for the rears as mentioned. The smallest fronts are 380's.

Nevermind, you are correct. I guess some did.
