Thanks a lot for this… was very helpful.Are you talking about the brake lines when you say stainless? Tighten it with a line wrench but you don't have to overdo it, don't torque it down like a banjo bolt. 200nm or ~148ft lb for the two large bolts to the spindle. Easy way to do that is turn the steering wheel all the way to that side so you can get leverage on those bolts without being stuck in the fender well.

was able to get this on with Zimmerman blanks, R4 pads, RS4 heat shields and RS4 ducts. @Will_ would love to go to LS With you just to compare rotor temps next time. I wonder if is the rotors, calipers or heat shield etc.
FYI R4 pads dust a lot. I just bed in the pads on this car with a completely clean wheel and the above pic is taken 20 mins after bedding.
I had both pressure bleed and also brake pump bleed the front and also rear calipers but the pedal is very spongy, and currently vibrates at high pedal pressure… will try again to bleed it this afternoon after a second bedding attempt
