BBK is ON

After buttoning up the rest of the car, we decided it would be a good day to finish up the brakes. The front and rear brakes were installed, but I only took photos of the fronts.

STaSIS/Alcon brake systems

My brake system upgrade arrived at Achtuning today. I choose to go with the STaSIS/Alcon 370mm (14.5") 6 piston front kit and the 305mm (13.0") rear rotor upgrade. The kit includes rotors, pads, Motul 5.1 fluid and Goodridge stainless steel lines, and necessary hardware. I took the time to weigh the new brake system components: Front carrier - 1.4lbs Rear carrier - 0.6lbs Front Alcon rotors 14.5" - 14.5lbs B6 S4 OEM 12.25" -  26lbs Rear Alcon rotors 13.0" -13.3lbs OEM 10.0" - 9.4lbs Front Alcon 6 piston calipers: 7.8lbs
