Thanks for the headlight info. I'll be doing this pretty much ASAP. One of my high beams is an aquarium and I can't even tell - that's how weak my lighting setup is.

Do you guys like Bilstein HD or Koni for shocks? This is a Westy, meaning h-e-a-v-y. Currently on 14" but probably will do 16" steelies within the year.

Finally, can you tell me more about the Audi big brake kits? They do seem rather costly, but I've figured out that putting together my own big brake setup would require turning down rotors, buying new rotors, making caliper mount adapters, buying and rebuilding calipers, etc etc - I don't think I could do it much cheaper, frankly. Is your set-up front-only? Easy to DIY? Any bias or master cyl mods/problems? I'm going to bleed my brakes and try to get through the year on them, but eventually will want something better.
