For those who wondered, the Moda's do clear the calipers but barely. I am going to get a set of small spacers just for piece of mind.
I will also need a set of 12-15mm spacers to be able to run my Swing wheels for winter.
I have only driven the car briefly, but overall it definately seems like a nice improvement.
I still need to install the rear SS lines.

Any tips on painting the calipers: I am using G2 caliper paint in red?
What brake lines are you using for the front?

I used high temp spray paint from the auto parts store. The kind for headers, engines, etc. I forget what brand though. I cleaned, sanded, painted w/ multiple coats & then cleared w/ multiple coats of high temp clear.
I used SS lines for the A4 that I got from ECS. You will need a male to male hard line adaptor to connect the SS line to the caliper. There is a small "L" shaped one that most guys use, but my calipers came with a different one already connected from the rubber lines to the caliper on the Boxster, so I used those.
