Default Oh NO you DI' INT

Dude...have you checked any of the Google links? Not one of those companies actually has RS4 brake pads for a 2007 RS4. Not EBC, not Pagid, not Hawk, nobody.

Only PureMS has them and has a website that is navicable. I'll also check Clair Parts and Zeckhausen now but c'mon...you've gotta know that I have enough of a brain to check Google. Maybe just enough of a brain, but I did it nonetheless ;-)

Default Well, there are various tools you can use...

There's a specific Audi tool that Audi techs use at dealerships but that's probably expensive. You can also get some kind of screw clamp from home depot and rig it somehow to get the job done. Or you can buy one of the tools below. I have one and it works great.

Default Have to say it, when Ford took over Volvo they revived a dead in the water co....

all models were suddenly on the map again with refreshed styling and contemporary perfomance. Then they utilized the S40 platform for the Mazda 3, which is raking in the dough for Mazda/Ford.
