What are the size of your tires and did you need wheel spacers to add space to accomodate for your brakes on the front?

i wonder how expensive a Big brake setup is and if they even make one!
I can't see an aftermarket brake setup being better than audi's althought something like slotted rotors would look super sexy!

I had that issue with my A4 - especially the rears - so I went with painting the calipers and using slotted cross drilled rotors

That helped

Hi all

Its been a few days now with the new wheels and its driving great, cant really notice any difference in ride quality, even the wife hasnt noticed any difference.
The comments from people out and about have all been good with some kids today taking pictures when it was parked up.
I had the car clay barred, polished and nautural waxed today ready for the winter so its looking even better. Like I said before once I have figured out how to post pictures I will post a couple more.
Cheers for now
G.

BTW what do you think I should ask for the 19" sline wheels that were on it? alli n a1 condition with the tyres only covering 3500 miles.
