Hi Ben,
To see the Audi 5000S / 100 / 200 stuff on my TriStar see: http://syncro.ca/tech/audibrakes.htm

Pretty straight forward install - basic machine shop skills
needed.

I know somewhere online there must be a brake catalog
that shows the offsets of various disc brakes.  All I know is they
are car brakes, which MB makes a lot of cars so...
