Plenty of dark beer in it btw, as long as I can have one!

Default Um, all you need is like 2 sockets and a wrench
If you are just doing the fronts anyway. I did the A8 upgrade, both sides, in under 45 minutes...

If you need help, just lemme know.

What do you mean by a A8 brake upgrade?

Default yup, no garage space really to do it....
and I'm only doing the fronts. Trying to find the cheapest place for calipers and rotors, and choose some new pads.

TT calipers and A8 rotors instead of stock A4, cheap way to get better brakes

Default I'm pretty sure TT calipers = A4 calipers
You need carriers and rotors to complete the upgrade.

Default I think the page with the upgrade mixes up calipers and carriers...
he calls them caliper brackets, but he lists the part numbers, so I should be fine I guess.
