looks good :) you guys scared me for a second, one of the shots you had the wrong caliper on the driver side but it looks like you fixed it

nice pics! I noticed on the S4 you left the heat shield on, did the instructions say to leave that? Usually when you add a BBK you remove that cuz it prevents the inner part of the hub from getting air to the rotors vanes. Lon's avant looks kinda neat with the B6 S4 rims, hope he didn't trade Paul's wheels!

It was a day of learning, that's for sure.....

I did put the brakes on backwards, but switching them only took a couple of minutes.

I didn't know about the heat/dust shield. That's an easy fix....

I had an heck of a time bleeding the brakes, just couldn't get the pedal to stiffen up. Then we remembered that there were two bleed valves on the Brembo's. Doh! My next purchase is a pressurized brake bleeder, for sure.

Aaron thought the brakes would fit under the oem wheels.....they didn't. That's how he ended up with Paul's wheels. Aaron ordered spacers from purems.com so he can put his stock wheels back on. Hopefully, Aaron will be at the GTG on Tuesday to receive his spacers and lugs.

We're trying to talk him into buying Paul's wheels, so everyone needs to make a big deal about how good those wheels look on his S4.

Kind of a crazy day, but fun. My hands got soaked in brake fluid and they're all jacked up.....they look like raisins.

Hey Lon, I noticed in your siggy you state you got 4 INCH Magnaflow exhaust, is that true?!?!?!? That is freaking huge! Dual 4 INCH PIPES all the way back????? on a chipped 1.8T??!?!?!? Is this some new tuning theory?!
