Not to mention ridiculously cheaper.

The A4 I have is going to be 100% track dedicated, but legal to drive to a show, etc... I intend on ripping the OEM out.

        The 2000 S4 did not have any ASR capability.  -  EddieWillers  2016-08-09 16:08:33 (277 views)
        
        I think the A4s and Passats you mention are FWD.  -  FrenchToast  2016-08-09 16:49:40 (246 views)
        
        AFAIK non-ESP is ABS only.  -  nyet  2016-08-09 15:26:22 (265 views)
        
        I'm pretty sure the A unit had EDL  -  EddieWillers  2016-08-09 16:23:31 (261 views)
        
        BTW do you think EBD includes brake biasing only (F:R) or also per wheel braking?  -  nyet  2016-08-09 17:34:07 (250 views)
        
        This is my understanding  -  FrenchToast  2016-08-09 19:03:32 (273 views)

        I would guess either EBD or ABS. I don't think it is part of EDL.  -  FrenchToast  2016-08-09 19:29:18 (248 views)
        
        I think all Audis 1996+, ESP or not, have EDL.  -  FrenchToast  2016-08-09 16:47:44 (266 views)
        
        yea. I really could use some help fleshing out the question marks in the ESP article.  -  nyet  2016-08-09 17:11:50 (264 views)
        
        I think I've written all I know about it.  -  FrenchToast  2016-08-09 19:37:13 (243 views)
      - you don't want to lose ABS on the track either.  -  nyet  2016-08-09 13:53:39 (273 views)
        
        You really want the Bosch system/OEM brake system, gone all together.  -  ScratchRob13  2016-08-09 22:21:22 (261 views)

    - yep. - nyet 2016-08-08 22:36:19 (247 views)
      - Am I missing something? Isn't there a button on the dash to turn the esp off?  -  EddieWillers  2016-08-09 08:39:24 (273 views)
        
        ..   -  nyet  2016-08-09 13:55:42 (263 views)
        
        ESP isn't ever 100% off, the button just greatly widens the parameters   -  NOTORIOUS VR  2016-08-09 09:19:22 (282 views)
