Default Re: won't work under 15s..

Oh well. Was looking for just a rotor repalcement (car is out of warranty now and Audi here in NY wants major $$$ for replacing them).

If I just get aftermarket (Zimmerman etc...) rotors all around, do I really have to get new calipers etc...? I will prolly get new pads though, even thought theones on the car now are OK.

Default Oops, forgot about the winter wheels....

Swap out the rotors as its really an easy job. I'd also recommend a pad replacement too!


Blau sells them cheap!

Default The A8 addition adds lots of unsprung weight

If you don't need the added performace for track use - then I would not do it. The mod does work with 16" sport rims.
