Big Brakes on a Ur-Q?

[Mark R]

Go with an off the shelf, two piece rotor and custom machined hat, if a
standard hat isn't available.

What master cylinder are you using to compensate for the increased volume?
What are you doing to control bias?  A stiffer front spring rate will help
there.

Just curious,
