Default Soft close adjustment
I've got one door that tries to soft close then gives up, over and over. Is that possibly because the striker is too far inward? Would adjusting the striker outward slightly clear this up?

Do a search for 'soft close' door. I've had great success with the Kroil Penephite or Silikroil spray to get the same condition 'solved' permanently.

Does it pull the door in at all or no?

Are the rear calipers from an 07 A8 the same as on my 07 S8?
