Default See the follow up on the posts below..over 30K; it's a Euro option.
The repeated reference in the Automobile blurb to 300,000 km is a clue it's just copying from Europe material; the mixing of the U.S. photo references (which I think is also stock Euro PR stuff from Audi) confuses it some.

Default I can buy a whole lot of rotors, pads and paint for these $$.
Heck, I could even hire a painter to airbrush on the logos, and buy a shop full of equipment to machine the thing. Or I could buy five Brembo setups and some custom wheels to match.
