Default Ceramic brakes? OEM from Euro? How? Or other brand?

What is the easiest/best way to get the ceramic brakes that the Euros get to buy?

Can I just have my dealer order them and install them?

I am asking mostly out of curiosity, not that I'm seriously considering it.. Or am I?

This thread here suggests an overall weight savings of 45lbs, unsprung weight. That's a kind of sizeable chunk, not huge, but not teeny..

If you combined that with lighter rims, what's the overall savings that could be had?

Default I think they run like $10k! If you're interested there's a guy on Audizine 400HPA4 ....

Who can get lots of OEM Euro stuff. His name is Gregg and he's a great seller. I've bought a bunch of stuff from him and his prices are great.

I think his email is info@dthaus.com

If you get them let me know if you're interested in selling your stock RS4 brakes.

Ben, what happened with your whole issue. Do you have a new car or your 'old' one still?

Default If our brake pads are over $300, wonder what the ceramics cost. Enzo brake job on the carbon/ceramic

is reported to be over $10,000. That does include new rotors.

Default I read it is more than that, I think it is closer to $30,000

As well as a $900 oil change
