Default Stoptechs - how many hours to install? - cost for install, including brake lines - warranty issues?

I'm thinking of getting the kit. I just wanted to know how much more than the $2,000 (parts) I'll spend to put them on and will the dealer have issues with ABS and ESP and XYZ?

Default DIY, I've done 3, takes 2.5 hrs with a small brake and is easy OR

you can pay a shop, for like 3+ hours and be out some 225_ bucks.

have the shop do the brake fluid flush for like 50 bucks, warranty issue?

you just spent 2K on brakes, no waranty but then again after 5 track events, these things are AMAZING!

Thanks - did you replace your rear lines? Did you put on new rear rotors?

I can sell you my used Stoptech kit (4000 miles no track time) for $1200. Rotors are like new.

dual 2 piece rotors with Red calipers and 2 front stainless braided lines.

It takes less time if you put the pads into the calipers first. I find that the locking pins for the pads are harder tp put on once the caliper are bolted on.

Default Rear stainless is a must (helps balance bias) NO on the rear rotors.

there isn't a kit out there that I am aware of that does rear brakes for the S4 and also the kit was designed for JUST the Fronts.

good luck!
