Default Cayenne 17Z BBK installed...

After months of planning, my wife's C6.5 A6 got some new brakes. There really wasn't that much of a hurry with a good set of stock brakes functioning as normal. A warped rotor got my wife to get me off my butt and make this thing happen. I had a chance to check them out today and man, what a huge improvement. The feel and modulation are excellent and the actual braking are greatly improved. The rotors are actually a little smaller in diameter at 330x32mm but the 6 piston calipers paired with Pagid pads more than make up for the loss in diameter. This whole package was hammered out by Apikol and I couldn't be happier. They will be posting up more installation pics and they're going to be selling an upgrade kit shortly. Thanks guys.

Are you still able to run the original 18" wheels like you mentioned before?

Same brakes on the Q7. Pad changes are a whole lot easier.

The rears seem to be good enough so other than painting the calipers to match the black of the fronts, I think we'll leave those alone for now.
