I did get a new OEM cup. The noise could be coming from my rigged boot spacer. I am going to tear it all down again with my son (he's turning 16 soon and is getting into cars) this weekend to see if we can find the source. It is good to know that yours is not making noise. Gives me hope lol.
Awesome. Could be the **** itself if it has inserts or isnt fully tight. I cant see it being the circle spacer as the sts and cup and plates all bolt down on top of it. Could be shift boot retainer as well. Lmk how it goes.
Finally getting some work done. Needs a good wash and the headlights need to be defogged but otherwise I'm really happy with how everything's turned out. Sport bumper and some front wheel spacers are the last things I'd like to do. Any recommendation on spacer size? Was thinking either 10 or 15mm.

It ended up being the lockout plate. The 3 bolts were tight, just not tight enough. Tightened them down and it's silent now.

Bought some beat up coupe sport wheels for my Sedan. Had them powder coated in Kingsport grey. I also painted the calipers in epoxy black
Before Stock color Kingsport grey
The sport wheels look slick definitely a big upgrade! The painted calipers aren't bad but would look much better in a different color in my opinion black just seems too much like a basic stock color.

My S8 has these black calipers. Subtle yet effective. I’m only painting the rotor hat with G2 caliper paint.
Cringing at what you're doing to your brakes, however this pic right here has to make you happy, right?
Those wheels are so-o-o much better looking that the 17" non-sports. Good job!

They're stock small brakes. Why paint them bright colours to bring attention to it? Black or dark grey hides them away, and painting the rotor hats hides away any of the rust colours from taking away from the freshly coated wheels.
