Well i guess not from A6 but from A8 with TT calipers. I dunno if they will clear 16' wheels. You can go with S4 brake kit, you may look at b5 s4 they fit B6 A4's. You can try to make your own brakes set up from different parts or you can go with BBK from companies like Brembo, Alcon, Stoptech and etc... Good Luck!!!

Lol^^^^
Bigger rotors = increased sprung weight and rotating inertia =worse handling car with sloppy suspension reaction and SLOWER stopping ability. The increased friction surface doesn't offset the decreases in performance all the way around. best you can do is put on stainless steel lines (biggest increase and cheapest cost) then crossdrilled SAME SIZE rotors with more powerful calipers.

i cant imagine you need any type of brakes other than stock, the reason why people need to upgrade to bigger brakes is in racing applications where you are constantly trying to go from 130-140 back down to into a turn at50 or 60 as fast as possible, and doing it over and over again. bigger rotor = more heat dissapation = less brake fade, the extra surface area of the biggerbrakes helps too
now alot of people today are doing it just for show, they dont really need the big brakes they just want to make their car look cool, similar to putting spoilers and other racing inspired stuff on cars, you dont need to use it for what it was intended for, but it makes your car look fast and thats all that matters to some people
so if all your going for is to look cool, get some drilled/slotted rotors, the chicks love that
