other than the dealership. No one stocks them as most people want the G60 setup and hubs so they can go to bigger brake setups eventually, or use regular rotors at least.

Now used is a different story. If you would take a used set and just purchase new rotors/pads, then ask Chris at Force5 Auto. I bet he has a set lying around somewhere on one of his cars. chris@force5auto.com

May I ask why you want UFO's? Do you have a '92, and the brakes are shot? Might be worth a search to find some G60's if you're not married to the idea of the UFO's. THe UFO's actually brake better, and will even hold up under mild track conditions(I tracked my 200 Avant last year with success on that setup), but the G60's are easier to work on, find pads for, and find replacement discs for. Just my $.02

Ask on the 5000/200 forum for used sets of UFO's if you still want to go that route, or post on Audifans/AW classifieds for either setup.

Good luck,
Fru-T

No I am not married to the UFO´s. Why on earth did Audi come up whith these brakes??? They are so expencive. Dealer was just naming the price...OMG..125.000 isl krónur...that is about 1750 $...for a complete set of UFO brakes..
Well its time to put in some overtime at work....and bite the bullet....hehehe.
At least they will last for a couple of years...I hope.

I typically see them for US$250 each (rotors), pads around $60 or so. Shipping extra...

I can get you a Porsche brake set that will bolt right up to your UFO hubs.

Send me an email if you're interested,

I've had lots of requests for small stuff, but I won't sell small pieces at the expense of a larger package - I had someone that wanted the driver's seat center armrest. I'd have to be nuts to take apart the driver's seat to sell an armrest for $50. The small stuff will eventually go, unless I decide to keep some of it as spares for my cars.
