Speaking of brakes...I managed to locate a pair of the few System 
2 brackets for the A4 that were manufactured, and have a brake 
upgrade scheduled for Monday. Just waiting on rotors, pads and 
brake line delivery...hoping that happens today.

I went with EBC rotors, dimpled and slotted, and Hawk HPS pads. 
Front brakes are Porsche 996 Carrera, rears are S4 calipers over 
A8 rotors, using OEM A8 carriers. The rear gives me an OEM upgrade 
that retains the parking brake and the approximate front/rear 
balance (similar increases in rotor diameter).
321/269 versus 288/245, if I remember correctly!

I also went with StopTech brake lines, as they made it easy to 
order Audi/Porsche lines. And of course SuperBlue fluid.
