ECS Tuning sells these.

I believe Hiwords has this upgrade. He'd probably pop in sooner or later.

a butt load of people have this on their cars. you can get it from ecs, or even piece it together from different places ie scrap yard for carriers and anyplace for rotors.

I have found ecstuning is the cheapest for the A8 front kit, but for the rear replacement and pads, MJMautohaus is cheaper

ECS, pureMS, there are quite a few sites the sell them. they are all the same kit but pureMS is usually a little cheaper. also the kit is just a pair of the TT caliper carriers and A8 rotors. as far as slotted or plain rotors, it depends on how you drive and what you use your car for. if you just DD it and baby it, plain rotors would be fine. if you track it sometimes or drive hard on the streets, slotted would be a little better for dissipating heat. you should also get a set of Hawk HPS pads to go with it.
