v8 - Are ufo's only on front wheels

Just the unreal cost of the UFO rotors- that's what's scary.

With the Porsche calipers, you remove the wheel, pull the pad
retaining clips and take the pads out from the top- nothing is
simpler than that. Well, maybe not nothing, but you get the idea.

:-)

The rear brakes are not larger in diameter, but they are thicker
and vented, as Steve said.

Don't get me wrong, I liked the UFOs on my car, but I warped
them (oops) and wanted still more brake capacity, which I now have.
I could not overwhelm my snow tires with the UFOs, but I am able
to do so with BIRA System 2. Don't know if that's particularly good,
but the improvement in braking is real.
