Default Brakes and wheels

Does anyone have any pictures of B5 A4's with A8 rotors. I'm thinking about doing the setup but want to see the difference first. I assuming all I would need are the rotors and TT carriers? Also does anyone know of any Audi centercaps that would fit 18 inch VSR Z5R wheels?

Also if I go with 4 TT carriers what is the standard size/best size to get rotors? i'm assuming 312?

You might want to check www.ecstuning.com they have quite a good range of brake upgrades.

Get the kit from ECS - it's already put together with the TT carriers and the A8 rotors - you don't have to piece it together that way, and you'll get rotors that are guaranteed to work for the setup.

i found a deal on all 4 TT carriers and Adam has the hook up for rotors http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=161124 i'm just trying to figure out what exact sizes i want. I'm going to get my car somewhere between 300-400 hp i hope. maybe, jut in my dreams, but shooting for the next 2-3 year. i have 5 spoke VSR 18' wheels and my car feels naked with the stock system. so i'm trying to figure out how big i can go all the way around with TT carriers. i'm assuming that the best size woudl be the size on the TT 312 font and 242 rear. i would like to see what they would look like though if anyone has pictures?/?

If you're shooting for 300+hp those A8 brakes won't cut it. You'll need a big brake kit. But just as a reference, here...
