Default HP2 caliper comparison picture....
Had to clear out some old pics to make room in my pic poster. Here's a low res picture that shows the HP2 bolted in place with the later caliper hanging next to it. Now that I've had a chance to bed in the new pads, it's amazing how much better the brakes feel, even with the snows still on.

Default Still not up to your standards, but not bad for a "wagon"....
Ordered new Motive bleeder this morning too. The right tools make all the difference. Thanks again for offering yours.

Default HP2 calipers were standard on the A6 4.2 and on the 2.7T until 2002.
Later 2.7Ts got a "lesser" setup.
