............... 8)

A MASSIVE thanks to Corey @ Quattronic's for the extra hours he put in burning the midnight oil fitting my new RS4 brake set-up.

Their is NO WAY at all these brakes would have fitted with out 10mm spacers on the std 18" wheels. Not even with 5mm spacers.

With the 10mm spacers on (allround at my choice) the car has a much more aggressive stance which i love.

The brakes peform well, although i'm still running them in they still have a good feel to them. No extra pedal travel and they're still as easy to press as the std ones.

Personally I would have gone for a 15mm rear spacer to fill the arch out a tad more but Tom (Notnormal) was very happy with the end result but anyone that says this brake system fits within the stock wheel without spacers is having a laugh.

Looking good Tom 8)

I've found that with almost all cars I've ever purchased, brake mods have easily been the best money spent...really lets you exploit the power you already have :D

Good stuff...are you getting the stock RS4 exhaust on, or the miltek? Are you having another remap afterwards? Heard about the unfortunate situation you had with the Revo remap :(. What other options does one have...?AmD

Can't remember whether you'd also already done any suspension mods, but your car is certainly getting faster by the minute! :D

It's a stock RS4 exhaust :wink: I might at a later date get the Miltek down pipe's but i'll keep with the std system, don't wanna get to the evo loudness ;) :D

The remap can wait TBH, can't be doing with the agro :o :)

As for suspension, i have a friend (that you also know) that has a frien that can supply Koni coilovers .......... inafew months we shall see .

What happenedto my "i'll leave this one std, i'll not touch it apart from the brakes" hey !!!! :lol:

Looks nice
Did you have to make caliper brackets up or did you use the stock caliper mounts, also what heat shields have you used?
