Question Brakes upgrade on D2 A8

Anyone do a successful brake upgrade on a D2 A8? I'd like to get performance brakes with larger callipers and rotors, etc front and back and I am having difficulty sourcing parts to fit. Would D2 or D3 S8 brakes fit? What about Porsche brakes?

I looked at BIRA and thought I read somewhere that they no longer had any custom made mounting brackets to install the Porsche callipers. Even Pfaff don't know how to mount the Porsche callipers without those brackets.

Anyone know who I can check with?

I've gone down that path (recently) with Powerslot G3500 Series Rotors (cryo treated), Yellow Stuff pads (cryo treated) and SS brake lines on the front. An impressive upgrade without ripping the pocket from your shorts.

The rear brakes are OE (cryo treated) and metalic pads (cryo treated).

Flushed the system with DOT 4.
