It took a long time, but it's done. The final price was $4240. :-/ I only have a few parts left now. Once they're sold I'll post up a full cost of ownership breakdown.

No, bigger rotors change the caliper position farther out, you will need an adapter. And with the caliper farther out you likely won't fit under the rim.

I drove the S6 today after about 6 months of it sitting. Damn this is a fast car.

Last September I bought a new car to replace the Audi, a 2009 Saturn Astra (aka Opel Astra). Yeah, it's small and it's cheap, and that's the point. I got a phenomenal deal, about 10 grand off the...
