The UNEXPECTED problem I found after doing all this was my 16" PD wheels did NOT fit in the front over the new brakes!
There is an inward-facing flange piece on one side of each PD spoke that hits the outside of the S4 caliper. So, I ordered a couple 16" "pie plate" wheels that should fit. If I didn't already have an inventory of 16" RA-1 tires I might have gone to 17" wheels, but I didn't want to make that investment just yet.

Hey Mike... I saw your car at the shop yesterday, and I just thought I'd say "hi!" I'm sure I'll get to meet you in person soon enough.

I was at the shop on Monday, Mike. No one was yelling at your car, they just kept shaking their heads and making clucking noises!
Hope to see you at Summit next weekend!
