[A4] Brakes & Rotors Update

[Richard Hurt]

I really can't wait to get it back on the road and see how much better it
is!  :)

I don't really want to break the seal on the brake lines and installing
stainless lines would do that.  I've also heard that the stainless lines
actually wear out faster because of the braiding.  Anyone have any
experience with them?

Later...
