This StopFlex OEM-size replacement kit is built around the S8 brake references on this page: 400mm or 420mm carbon-ceramic front rotors and 350mm or 370mm carbon-ceramic rear rotors, with matching pads, hats, and floating hardware. The payoff is lower brake dust, reduced unsprung mass, and more stable rotor behavior under heat while keeping the factory caliper architecture for the listed brake configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"check\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCovers only the 2020-2026+ Audi S8 D5 brake configurations listed on this page: 400mm or 420mm front rotor references and 350mm or 370mm rear rotor references.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDesigned as an OEM-size replacement for the S8 D5, so rotor diameter, hat offset, pad shape, and floating hardware must match the original brake package before ordering.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCarbon-ceramic rotors reduce the dust and corrosion issues common with large iron rotors on open-wheel S8 fitments while improving repeated-stop heat stability on a 4.0T luxury sedan.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection class=\"box red\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment Hard Lines\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"scroll\"\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"accent\"\u003eField\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVehicle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAudi S8 (D5)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2020-2026+\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFront rotor reference\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eS8: 400mm, 420mm (CCB)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRear rotor reference\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eS8: 350mm, 370mm (CCB)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOEM-size carbon ceramic replacement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum wheel size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20\" (for the 400 mm rotor)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sf-emph\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor OEM replacement orders, StopFlex builds around the factory rotor specification shown for this vehicle.
