Default Big Brake kit?

Who do you recommend? I have stock 17" wheels.

Michelin Pilot Sport A/S.

I will purchase other wheels if needed, but prefer not to.

Thanks

The auction mentions S8 only .. the caliper mount would fit an A8 ?

Default Yes, it will fit an A8

Okay, I won't refund your money or anything if it doesn't work....but if you look at the picture, the bracket is in the bubble wrap and it's gold. It bolts on where your caliper use to....a facelift S8 has a totally different mounting configuation.

Mine uses studs....this one uses a bracket with bolts....same thing, just different design.

Default What puzzles me is that MOV-IT doesn't even list a 342mm brake kit on their site ..

for the S8 or the A8 .. 320, 322, and 380 .. hm .. but it could be very out-of-date .. the link to "Mov-It North America" is dead too ..

Default "Ultimate Garage" was MOV-IT's U.S. distributor, but ...

The Big Brake link on their home page is also dead.<ul><li><a href="http://www.ultimategarage.com/">Ultimate Garage</a></li></ul>
