[s-cars] A8 type brake upgrade?

[Andrew Shea]

Why??  Never ask a car nut why!

Actually, I have a pair of new 312x25mm rotors laying
around, and was just wondering.

Of course, I also have a pair of Boxster calipers
around here somewhere too, which begs the question of
why I don't just do the BIRA upgrade.  But, one of the
reasons is that the BIRA (or any Porsche upgrade) will
not work with the 17x8 Bolleros I'm running (and I
just LOVE those wheels).

Thanks.
