Default Winter Time means I'm Bored...Check out teh latest Mod...

Not a BBK but was really wanting the HP2/S4/B5 Caliper-Rotor Mod but did not want the added investment costs to replace my 16" Winters...
My current 16" w/DunlopM3s rock to say the least.
Anyways, I'm really not a track guy, so I guess this will curb at least my Brake Upgrade Cravings 8^).

Pick'd up these BadBoys (Rotors &amp; SS Lines) Online from <a href="http://www.ecstuning.com/stage/edpd/pagebuild_v2.cgi?make=Audi&engine=V6%2030v&model=B 6%20A4&submodel=Quattro&category=Braking">ECS Tuning</a> &amp; Pads from <a href="http://www.brakesrus.com/">Brakes R Us</a>.
The Brake Fluid was had locally here from a Bike/Motocross Shop.

<b><u>The Specs</u>:</b>
Front Rotors - 'Brembo' CrossDrilled, Slotted &amp; Vented Rotor 312x25 (left/right)
Rear Rotors - 'Zimmermann' CrossDrilled &amp; Slotted 255x10 (left/right)
Brake Pads - 'EBC' GreenStuff Pads w/WearSensors on fronts (front/rear)
Brake Lines - 'ECS' Stainless Steel Braided Lines, Full Kit (front/rear)
Brake Fluid - 'Motul' RFB600, 3pints or 1500ml

Default You could have borrowed my black high temp paint...m...

to paint the backsides of those EBC greens! Oh well, they'll dust up eventually and you won't see that bright green.

Looks very nice though! Did you get the Motul at the bike shop up on Dixie Hwy? That's where I get my Motul oil and brake fluid.

Default Yes, yes, no & no...

Stefan and his shop is awesome to say teh least.

You noticed the RS4 w/the winters on the side...LOL...Yep, just for the pics...No test fit required...Rotors were the same size as stock.

Paint the pads...I'm gonna leave'em green...I kinda like'em like that...Kinda show off that they are not OEM...
Also just that litte "Rice" in me
