Default Eeesh... that sig is NAS-TEE.

um- KIDDING.

If anyone is still checking this thread... IMO, red only works on BLACK. I'd do black calipers on a silver car. Link below to the whole brake job i did recently.

Default i am mad. i followed the same tech article you did. the paint on my rotors didn't last one day! ,...

what a waste of time. people should be more careful when spreading ludicrous information. the armor-all on my tires nearly caused me to run over a bird's egg. a friend told me later that whoever said to use armor-all on your treads was WRONG.

Looks awesome. Are these special calipers? I am refering to Audi rings.

Default Did you use brake fluid to "dewax" your car?

SOme ricer did, ahhhh... good times, good times...

Where are you based out of? Every time I see a pee-yellow A4, I think it is Boki, then no rings on the door, could be you.
