My dealership ordered one for me and I installed it myself. The fitment was terrible and it does...
next to nothing for the wet braking problem. Barely noticeable improvement, IMO.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news
Don't get me wrong...I absolutely LOVE my A4. But the brakes are embarrasingly undersized for a car that weighs as much as it does. After I'm done with all of this engine mod stuff, I'm moving on to a real braking fix...something along the lines of an A8 rotor w/Porsche Boxster S caliper setup.
But good luck...I hope your fix works better than mine did.

Service manager had to order and ok the install on my car...
I tried to order myself thru the parts dept and they weren't allowed. I am not sure if the service manager had to get an OK from AoA. The shields helped but the problem is not completely gone with my car.
