Default Negative. Tech is doing the install on Sat AM.

But it's not that difficult to do by yourself. the most difficult part being removing the brake lines and replacing with the stainless lines. I already have them, but I think I'm going to replace them with the included set.

Two bolts are all that's holding the caliper. Once those are removed, the caliper comes free. The rotor then comes right off.

take the new rotor, install. Take the new mount for the calipers, use the existing bolts, and voila, all is finished. Not too difficult, but lifts (and audi certified techs) help. ;-)

Default Holy mother of God

those are HUGE. Either that, or you've got a freakishly tiny hand.

Default Nope. Rears hardly get touched on the track.

I use bobcats for the rears. Might go to Panther Plus eventually.

Default Thanks for the info

Wes, I really appreciate you taking the time to respond. I had not heard of the modulation issue with the Stoptechs, but that would certainly sway my opinion as well.

I think I will probably end up going the Brembo direction as well. I know you mentioned Alcon was about the same price, but the info I have been lookin at indicated they were significantly more than the Brembos. Also, since I don't track my car, will probably go w/ cross drilled rather than slotted rotors.

Again, thanks for your feedback.
