Ok I got the part numbers from small cars. Front pads 447698151F Front rotors 8E0615301C Rear pads 443698451C Rear rotors 447615601A I also confirmed with small car what I found on the samba. The brakes and calipers are from a 1990 Audi v8 Quattro and the rotors are from a 1991 Audi 200 Quattro 20v.
