I wish i would have thought of this sooner, since everyone seems to be getting brakes recently. I think if we got enough interest we could make some calls and get a group buy started. i know some people on the forums gotta have some connects. And i'll email the companies that sell the kit and see what they say. I'm thinking the most popular one is gona be the A8 rotors with tt carriers. it's perfect for all you guys preparing to go BT. its the most economy setup but it'll still be good enough. and then you can get the s4 rears later and be set. you dont want 300+ hp and stock brakes so let's at least get a list together, and if there is enough interest, we'll see if we can get a pricelist, and then go from there. I for one am in.
id sign up if i knew about this 10mins ago i just ordered tt carries and zimmerman a8 rotors

u shoulda checked the forums, i put it up last night. and i was afraid of this happening. there's already been like 4-5 people who've gotten the a8 upgrade in the past week or two. hopefully they're still enough people to do this. i need brakes bad
I've considered doing this, but I'd need 16" or 17" wheels. Oneg is selling his, but hasn't returned my PM. So it all depends on when this actually happens, and I'm still waiting on my euro plate....

Does anyone know what year for the A8 rotors? Are they the Zimmerman 312 x 25 mm cross-drilled? And what year TT carriers work on the B5 front brake upgrade? I'm starting to look around for pricing...
they have a few different rotors available. some are just vented, other are slotted and/or drilled. but they are all 312 x 25. as for the tt carriers i have no idea. my best guess is they are from the tt 225.
im gunna order rotors on suday, just stock size but slotted cause i gotta do my breaks anyway. if you can get me a quick deal on them id be in for those. if not i just want a price on a full kit drilled and slotted, and if its possible to get 6 piston calipers im lookin for those too. im getting a bbk this summer anyway so i might as well get the parts while their cheap. i have the same issue as bogie w/ not big enuf wheels to do the kit right now.

Also, Just talked to a friend who has a B5 a4 and he said he is in depending on price. So mark him down as Josh's Friend or something like that.

+1 if we could get cross drilled rotors. Joo Know Wat Im Saying Mang?
im sure there will be a few options. personally i would just get slotted and not drilled. i heard drilled tends to make the rotor weaker.
and yeah , anyone wanting to post this in other forums, feel free. Nic is posting it on AZ. Just make sure to tell people they will have to do the business thru AF, im not gona make accounts for each forum and have to keep track of it all.
OK, I will actually take care of everything on my local forum and then just give you a total from that forum. Is that cool?

I found searching that the B6 guys just do the S4 front brake upgrade. So far, PureMS has the vented 312mm rotors, tt carriers, new slides and bushings (no pads) for $250. Only, not sure if they are Zimmerman rotors or not (didn't call), but I definitely don't want cheapo aftermarket rotors made in China.
