This is what I have. Its pretty cheap for being a whole package but I won't be getting it again. I chose it with the single piece drilled/slotted rotors, the upgraded fluid, and Hawk ceramic pads.

I said I won't be ordering again, but truthfully everything has been great except the rotors. I am not happy with the rotors at all, so if you go this route I suggest upgrading rotors (which unfortunately doubles the price of the package).

I don't have brembo brakes but if the z1 rotors are not great ill just wait for the hawk package to become available... Did you get the master cylinder brace? It sounds good in theory.

No i did not get it and actually started looking into it yesterday. I like the idea but the price on it seems a bit steep

According to Vince, my turbo exhaust housing (.82a/r) it's doing what it can, if I were to upgrade I would see different numbers . But I'm happy. I hit my marker , and hopefully done modding it lol .

Gotcha. Those are some crazy torque numbers as well.

I should have asked you guys days ago. I've been looking for a place to go in the MA/CT/RI area for paint. I need my whole car done over, possibly a custom color. Does anyone have any recommendations? I need good quality work, but the price has to be reasonable too. I'm sure one of you has a buddy or a bro

A friend my brother knows. I talked to him last week about painting my car because he's looking for some side work to do. He is a painter at an Audi dealership. He quoted me about $2000 for a full color change (everything except engine bay). He would do all the painting and everything at the Audi dealer so its high quality equipment, not his garage and some crap sprayer.

Sounds pretty good to me. I was looking for everything but the bay so that would work out. Can you post up some of his work?

Let me know how much the bodywork runs you. I will eventually need to get a hatch respray anyways and toyed with the idea of moulding in the INGS spoiler

I actually have no pictures of his work as most of his work involves fixing Audi's back to their OEM state after an accident.

Im not sure how much the bodywork will end up running me. I texted him yesterday about it and he said he wants to stop by and see the hatch and spoiler so he can get an idea of my end goal and what really needs to be done
