Do you have a part number for the Aston Martin calipers?
At this point, I'm wondering if it's just better to buy mk8 CS/R calipers and discs? Replacement disks are sold at FCP Euro and they seen to have good feel and don't need a ton of wheel offset to clear them.
Hi,
I don’t have the part number unfortunately but kits seem readily available in the UK and most places will ship to US.
It’s effectively the same caliper as on the 8p RS3 however that caliper has the mounting bracket built in as part of the caliper itself to suit a different hub and disc, however that particular caliper can’t be used for MQB cars.
Price point in the UK the Macan caliper kit retails at £650, you then need pads at a minimum and either use your current discs or replace for new but the Macan upgrade can be done for well under £1000.
The Aston Martin kit is as below £1000, you then need pads to suit as a minimum and either use your current discs or replace for new but this is a far better kit than the Macan caliper that bolts straight on and offers far better braking with perfect pedal feel right out the box.
Here is a link to the kit, this was the cheapest price I found, this kit is for use with the standard 340mm discs so you would just need to source pads of your choice.

Same website also sells this kit to suit larger discs however at a much higher cost however it does include discs.
