the front is actually just called "six piston", and Alcon sells it (MBWW)...
...which you could get through STaSIS Engineering or **** Racing in the states.
6 piston front on 355mm w/ floating hats
4 piston rear on 328 or 332 w/ floating hats
Not exactly cheap, and you lose the parking brake. I'd say something like 6k easy.
The current monobloc 6 stuff from stasis is more affordable, and I think it offers 80% of what the Alcon billet 6 kit offers. Although I prefer the floated hat over teh floated disc, the disc setup is quiet.
I have the monobloc 6 on a 13" on my front, and I use the OEM 41mm audi rear caliper with built in e-brake and larger 298mm disc.

Yeah, I know. Never minded losing the parking brake.
FYI, I had the Alcon six-piston front and four-piston rear on my A4...
But that was something like six years ago.
When the four-piston was still the H-type and the six-piston the B-type.

I have the same set up but with STaSIS's rear rotors.....I love it...have done 4 track events on
them and my front pads lasted for 3 events...and they went through some fast tracks.....if I were to keep my RS6 (Lease) I would swap out the 8 piston Brembo (stock) for the Alcon 6 piston. I have driven both on the tack the Alcons are better IMO.
I am very glad I went with them...not to say the other set up are bad...they are much better then stock. I just think the Alcon set up is just a bit more top tier.
