Default Alcons are no better than Stoptechs and the pad choice is pathetic. Def not a "move up".

With the B7 S4 you need to replace the brake lines, the stock ones are too short to reach. Other than that, it's a bolt on.

Default ok, thanks. I was going through archives and saw a few of ur posts debating if S8 and 332 front...

makes the car rear biased or not, some argued it does, some not (including you)...

So, a bit confused... looks like A8 rotor might be the best compromise!

BTW, was joking about Stasis

Default An oil cooler really helps, the stock oil cooler is pushed beyond...

Default Well you're set with excellent Alcons up front. I don't think the rears...

matter much. Personally if I had the cash to burn, I'd put on Alcon rear rotors just so the front/rear match! But that's really just for looks. Put on any decent aftermarket rotors in the rear and you'll be fine.
