15 inch fitment! I have track wheels/tires, and because I don't have the performance package brakes, I though it would be fun to attempt this to try and get a little more sidewall for daily driving....

Safety first, get it taken care of. And if you aren't already, avoid using an impact gun, hand start lugs, and always torque to spec.

My obvious guess is that it sounds like your fluid needs to be bled or changed if the pedal is getting soft. Pulsing or "warping" usually is a pad deposit problem rather than the rotor itself,...

Since these discussions tend to involve closed courses, and you are talking local public roads, I would try your appropriate regional topic.

RS4 are most likely going to be capable of better lap times. However if you are running street class (or stock class), you'll have to run SX2 to be eligible for prizes.
