Bira Opinions

[Greg Johnson]

Dan,

Your only choices are Sys 1 and Sys 3.  Sys 2 is for A4s and will not 
fit your car.
No chooses Sys 1 anymore because Sys 3 is a slightly better system 
(larger caliper and rotors) that fits more wheels and costs about the 
same amount of money.  We've not had any problems finding Euro A8 
rotors.  When we first developed Sys 3 rotors were hard to come by.  Now 
Audi, Textar, Brembo and Zimmerman have them.  Track testing reveals 
that Zimmers are the way to go.

If you want to drive Sys 3 on a 200tq you're welcome to come uo to 
Spokane and drive mine.
