brakes on '02 a4tavant

[Grant Lenahan]

You're nto asking how hard it is to do a regular brake job are you?

Unless i missed something, mark is talking about putting new calipers and different rotors on his cars. Stoptech makes big brake kits - typically monoblock ( non floating) calipers with 2-pice (floating) rotors.

I assume this is a fairly big job, and may preclude standard wheels. 

If, otoh, you are asking how tough it is to do a standard brake job - not bad at all. A bit messy. pressure bleeder preferred.  But not too many gotchas.

And for non-tracked cars, i cant see the limitations of stock brakes. On track, no brake is big enough :-)
