brakes look a little large, stopping a car or the planet rotating?

They are MASSIVE, have you done any engine/exhaust mods?

Those discs can't be more than 390s, look at them under the Rotiforms centerlines, they're just leaning up against small tyres from those BBS wheels. Contrasting pic full of phaaale.

What I don't understand:
  • - The Lambo callipers are the same as the B7 RS callipers... so, why?
    - If the discs are bigger than stock Lambo/B7 RS then you'll have no pad sweep near the bells, ergo, the disc will oxidise... so, why?
    - The inlet spacer doesn't reduce intake temps... so, why?
    - That Snow Performance kit will actually lift 91 pumpgas to 116 racegas!!! Really?
Yeah yeah, I know...

But bam, according to JHM, the master race of Audi aftermarket performance enhancement engineering the inlet manifold spacers do work, allow cooler air and a latent heat gap and therefore more torques and bhp. So say all the B6 S4 owners that have them. How could you doubt such credible data?

I thought someone on here tested temps both fore and aft, finding nada. Am. I. Wrong.

Another person doubting the mighty JHM? I feel the reintroduction of stoning is required for these blasphemers.

I also got the
Unitronic stage 1+ tune
K&N filter
Full maganflow exhaust system
Stoptech stainless steel brake line
Apokil rear diff mount (race stiffness)
JHM trans mount (race stiffness)
Stern motor mount (race stiffness)
JHM Light weight crank pulley
Hotchskiss front and rear sway bar upgrade
JHM short shift kit



True lambo and RS are the same caliper but I got the JHM 380mm disc upgrade with EBC yellow stuff pad (365mm oem rotor)
The water/meth injection will make some pony's out of these high compresison V8 then try to keep my intake cleaner (FSI = Carbon built up)
I'm now thinking doing a full TT custom built with my boys at Unix Performance and the water/meth will help there too..

It's those wheels that make me want to barf - the Max Power hoodie mob would be proud of them.

QCRS4, is there anything different with the replacement light clusters (other than just the de-tango) ?
I'm genuinely interested.

Looks like he's from Quebec. Taste is subjective and since it's not a european car I think he should get a pass on the styling. You lot are being mean today!

Taste is universal - but it had run out when he got to the head of the queue.
