So i bought a damaged S4 back in November and here is a bit of an update on my progress… When i got it: ![http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g60/griffiscool/IMG_0205.jpg](http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g60/griffiscool/IMG_0205.jpg) ![http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g60/griffiscool/IMG_0204.jpg](http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g60/griffiscool/IMG_0204.jpg) Bumper is getting painted right now, and i threw on a set of headlights: ![http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g60/griffiscool/audi001Medium.jpg](http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g60/griffiscool/audi001Medium.jpg) ![http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g60/griffiscool/audi002Medium.jpg](http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g60/griffiscool/audi002Medium.jpg) Some nice winter tyres and stock Avus rims. ![http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g60/griffiscool/audi005Medium.jpg](http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g60/griffiscool/audi005Medium.jpg) ![http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g60/griffiscool/audi006Medium.jpg](http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g60/griffiscool/audi006Medium.jpg) ![http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g60/griffiscool/audi008Medium.jpg](http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g60/griffiscool/audi008Medium.jpg) On the car originally were 16" A4 rims i think. They were rubbing on the front calipers. And what i found under the front 2 wheels: :2fingers: ![http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g60/griffiscool/audi003Medium.jpg](http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g60/griffiscool/audi003Medium.jpg) ![http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g60/griffiscool/audi004Medium.jpg](http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g60/griffiscool/audi004Medium.jpg) So now i get to try and find some cheap rotors for this thing. next up is the paint shop to do the car up in the next few weeks. Then interior fun! ---

Nice dude. How many miles on it? [ecstuning.com](http://ecstuning.com) has all of your brake parts. Zimmerman OEM style rotors for $150 and Hawk pads run like $120 for the fronts. ---

40k miles on it only. i dont know too much about it since i got it from an auction. it was a theft recovery where they stole the headlights, bumper, and wheels. It does run beautifully, but I havent driven the thing yet b/c of the wrong wheel and it has no battery. hopefully this weekend i can take it for a spin and see how it rides. Unfortunately by the time i get the title and register the thing, it will be the spring, so i’ll have to really test it out then. ---

Whatever you decide to do for brake rotors, double check to make sure you get the right hat size. My A6 uses the same size rotors but they come in 16.5mm and 22.7mm hat sizes. Not sure if the S4’s are the same way, but you definitely want to check on it. ---

yea … S4 is pretty narrowed down for most of their things i’ve seen.not too much guessing when going OEM. aftermarket, well thats a different beast. wheel spacer? thats the inner part of the rotor … and it fell out with the wheel. luckily (i guess) it happened to both sides in the front, so i dont have to toss 1 good. replace both and be done with them. and hopefully this was the cause of the ABS light i have on in the car! ---
