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.

Is there a reason not to go back to Small Car to get the parts?

I'm thinking of upgrading my front brakes and if parts are not available, why would I want to?

( I don't see brake parts on their website other than the brake kits, a parking cable, and studs.)

Thanks.

Looks like a Girling 4143 caliper.  Trying to ding brake pads online is
proving to be difficult.
