Yeh, tell me about it. Looks nice, but downside is a very, very heavy disk at each corner (new about 33 mm thick!). I even thougth to replace them with carbon disks, just for the weigth saving (they weigh only 25% of the steel parts. But then I heard the costs of those: about $ 4000,-- for the set of 4 with new brake pads: Outch !!)
Do they bolt on radially?

If you mean by that 'not in the normal way', then: Yes.
BTW Brake balance is way off also, but I still have the original master cylinder, soon to be replaced by a Kerscher m/c (found out piston diameter is 23,64 mm front and rear) with a separate brake 'bias thing' which can regulate pressure to lessen the front a bit. Other possibility is an Audi part (model 100 or 200: in Europe) so I'am told, but they are either right or not i.e. not adjustable, but cheap to get second hand.
Later,
