About 1600 dollars. And I have no idea about the pistons, the pads just popped right in there without me having to mess with them.

I'd post pics, but it's dark, my car is dirty, and there's a weird clunk coming from the passenger side. Gotta figure that out before school tomorrow. [:@]

So the clunking was actually the weights that are attacehd to balance the wheel rubbing on the caliper every time they came around. The caliper didn't get scratched, but the weight strip will never be the same.

So here they are on the car.







I have not formally bedded the pads nor bled the rear calipers, which may be the reason for that weird, kinda discomforting ring around the rotors.

Nevertheless, the car still stops, and the pedal feels good.

Try this, it should remove that unsightly ring-around-the-rotor, and get you back to showin' up punks in ricers in no time!

I've already said this but I fvckin hate you. I want those, but no way in hell can I afford them. Looks real clean and killer RED A4.

And for the rest of you, um,... RED OWNS
