Is this normal??? OK I haven't driven my S4 for over a year because I've had her on a long-term mmmmm let's call it open heart surgery. So I pulled the cover off today and ... WTF??!!! The calipers and rotors .... they SHRANK!!?? DR, can you please advise??

It's awfully cold out... shrinkage.

mspiegle

has your caliper been eating grass?

heinrich

Mike Dude a close friend and regular lister here does that often and unless it's in parts I don't see that doesn't cause shrinkage ..... but yeah I think a year's worth of mowing around my shark has taught it some baaaaaad habits. Anyway I was shocked when I saw how teensy that S4 caliper/rotor combo looked. So now I guess I have to instal '06 Vette stompers just to fill that massive hole??

Looks like those 18's have given your brakes a little "performance anxiety" Try dropping a little Viagra in the brake fluid reservoir...

Heinrich,
Soon, its wheel time for me too. How have those 19"s been on the potholes? Tires? Would you change anything if you did it again ?

heinrich

Hi Lex I don't have much to report yet, will keep you up to date

MrLexse

Ah, guess the I-5 fly-by really did something for ya?
They look great H, nice choice on the 19s, thats would I would have done if I could find hollow-spokes in 19"... However, the Mille Miglia Cup3gt (with the "UDT" lip) look freakin' sweet, but won't work on the P-car cars... Would love to swap for those!
