Default No one can say those rotor holes are cast. ...

After the drilling, that looks like cutting oil wicking out of each hole!

Movit has taken a different route with this upgrade to the S8's Brembo's. I assume that the Movit monobloc caliper is stiffer, but they increased the thickness, not the diameter, of the rotor. The Movit rotor is 345x34 versus the OE 345x30. The additional mass makes them less likely to reach temperatures where the pads fade; and assuming the piston sizes are unchanged, maintaining rotor diameter maintains brake bias. It's a bargain if the price holds near Eur 515.

Default Those would

The offset of my rotor hats is too small.....these are properly designed, I can see more offset, I think they would work without a problem.

Worse comes to worse, you buy 5mm spacers, but don't think it's required.
