Default Who cares? You'll shred it just the same.

Fully-sprung full ferramic, just do it. ;p

Default Ding, and ditto...

I had to lower my max boost to ~22lbs due to RS4 clutch shreddage.

It was fun though: Roll on throttle in 3rd or higher and watch the RPM's zing to redline

Mike has a kevlar/Ferramic/2400 waiting for me... with max springage.

Default oh hey, btw thanks for the help regarding the xdr rotors...

fyi there really isn't that much play in my calipers.. once i had them fully torqued down they
pretty much settled where they wanted to.

i ended up just grinding the FCK out of the pad backing plates. problem solved.

problem is, i guess i am going to have to do that for every set of pads i get..

gonna have to get a bench grinder, this dremel **** just isn't cutting it
