Default Brake upgrade??

Just a thought from a guy who can't afford a BBK right now but wants to upgrade the G60's. Is there a caliper bracket for the G60 that would allow the use of larger rotors? Maybe A8 rotors. Or is this nonsensical?

Default Nobody thought to look in the AW Resources where

you would find this:

However, that might work on a stock C4 100/A6 but I do not know if it works on an C4 S4/S6 with G60s.

Otherwise, the only upgrade is pads.

SS lines help the stock setup as well. Rotors, maybe.

Default I found the answer

on another site. It appears what I need is a set of TT caliper holders. That will allow me to fit A8 rotors. SS brake lines and new pads are a no brainer. I know it's only a small benefit but it comes at a small price untill I can afford the better calipers.

That's the same info as in the link I posted. It does NOT mean that it will work with G60s and A8 rotors. The A6/100 front calipers are G54s or something, not G60s.
