Brake Project Update..Completed. Here are some pics.
First, thanks to everyone who helped me with this project. I had to go back to my stock wheels because my wheels wouldn't clear the calipers with the new pads even with my 8mm spacers <argh>. I put BBS Cross Drilled/Slotted Rotors in the front, OEM's in the rear and Mintex Reds all around. Oh yeah, I tossed an RS4 Grill on for the hell of it. Had the brakes bled at Pep Boys, total cost $445 plus shipping cost. The wife said that's it for mods, I said yeah, after this weekend I swear ;-)
No, I didn't use the Super Blue!

This one goes on the right side correct? ;-)

The finished product, less my 18's. Damn I hate these tires!!

Mintex Reds are no good. :-\
Lasted less than 15 laps on my 2600lb race car! Chunked off going into a heavy 100+ --> ~35 mph turn. Thought I completely lost my brakes... I wouldn't use them for anything more than casual street driving.
YMMV...
