My bad--it wasn't Ti Kan (although he still is one helpful dude), it was
Eric Fluhr--that measured the A4q rotor to be 288mm. Again, it was in his
hands, so I don't doubt the measurements.

As far as G60s vs. A4q caliper, I am going to say that the A4 calipers are
the way to go, if one can find them cheaply. The only problem then becomes
the 288mm vs. 276mm rotor size with the unusual 90q20v deep-hat
design. We'll see. Anyone else got ideas besides a 2-piece Coleman rotor?

Not me! :P
