Default I was thinking the same thing but...

Another guy in a b6 s4 had the same brand new wheels and tires and he actually installed his longer bolts bc he didn't like the look of the ones sent from tirerack. He still had the same issues as I did

Default You & Jason are in grave danger of becoming purists. Your car is barfing lugs and

I think I heard you say something about braking less on Monday. Then Jason seemed to think driving a 3200 lb RWD car was somehow better than bombing a stage 3 S4 down the straights. Nonsense!

Default You did a number on those stock brakes, sounds like Alcons is just what the doctor ordered...

so you don't see that again. Are you running a 17" wheel at the track? I wouldn't limit yourself to a 13" setup if you are Stage 3 and running track tires, a 14" setup will live a longer life if you are tracking the car often. Both sizes will perform very well, though with a large amount of power and frequent tracking, especially with track tires, I recommend a 14" system for longevity's sake.

Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions.

Cheers,

Default Thanks, I'll probably give you a call later this week. Those fuggers were smoking when I came off

the track. Hell, I was only running 12 psi. &lt;shrugs&gt;

Do you track your 4-pot setup?

Default Not yet...

Plan on it once the rest of the car matches the power of my brakes and suspension (still 100% stock)

have you tracked before? if not, you should go with stock power.
