How much did the old squeal weigh?

re: Pics and impressions (as well as some metrics) later, stay tuned
Do you have one of those accelerometer gadgets that can measure 60-0 (or 70-0 or whatever) stop distances? If I recall (from a test on a 2010 in R&T maybe?) the 60-0 distance was 114 ft which is already excellent.

Achtuning is closing out the sets of these for the B8 S4, at a crazy price. The original price for the kits (lines, pads, calipers, rotors (355mm, stock is 320mm), everything you need except fluid) was $3,195.
They are on closeout for $2,236.50

The Stoptech BBK from Achtuning includes stainless steel lines. Not sure why they wouldnt run them to the back as well as front brakes since this is a full brake replacement kit. The only thing it doesnt include is brake fluid.
And the kit for the GTI is only $1995.00

I have been pondering on a BBK for quite a while myself. Looking forward to seeing NWS4Guy's setup this Saturday at our GTG!

Yes I had the SS lines for the last several months front and back. About all that would be left is slotted rears, which is almost moot unless you are tracking a LOT and it's usually wet, the rears only take on about 20 of the braking weight.
They come in black and gray, here's black on someone from QW who tracks a lot, he loved them -
