brakes 
 has been considering the upgrade options, and last Sunday when even my 
 stock 944S handily outbraked him at Gingerman the topic came up again (yes, 
 he already has race pads but the factory A4/Passat calipers have very 
 little clamping force and he loses pedal due to heat very quickly).
 
 Another Quattro Club member with a full-size '95 S4 is running the Boxster 
 Monoblock calipers but still gets fade.  Now that's a giant car, so the A4 
 might be less likely to over-stress those calipers.
 
 Has anyone had any experience with these calipers?  Good?  Bad?  How do 
 they compare to regular 951 Brembos, 951S S4 calipers, Big Reds?  Any 
 subjective evaluation (or objective, of course) would be appreciated.  The 
 alternative Alcon brake setup is rather expensive for him at $2500.
 
 Thanks in advance.  And sorry it's not really 944 material.  ;-)
