i think i do - but i really have to whale on the brakes for that and i 
havent panic stopped in a while [a stock 90q wont go fast enough to ever 
warrant a panic stop. the car really doesnt even need brakes =]. i did 
notice this morning that the noises happen even when the tires arent 
slipping, just backing down my dry driveway.

the noise sounds a little off -  but the brakes work + feel fine. it may 
just be a 'normal' weird audi noise.

thanks!
