Robert,

I'm not up on EDL/ESP changes there were between my '92 street UrS4/'93 UrS=
4 track car and later UrS cars. Perhaps there was not such a EDL 'assistanc=
e' fitted to the early UrS cars?

When i ran ESP on an RS4 by mistake for one lap at the 'ring the brakes wer=
e smoking badly. Turned it off and brakes were dramatically better/not smok=
ing.  Lots of others have reported having to defeat the ESP to prevent rapi=
d brake failure on track.

My rear pads outlast the BR fronts by 2:1.

Cheers,
Leigh

  I think everyone is forgetting about the EDL on 95 S6.  I run a 95.5 S6 o=
n the track.  It has
  AP 343mm discs with 6 piston calipers.  I use up 3 or 4 rear pad sets for=
 each front set. I believe that the EDL is pulsing the rear calipers, and c=
ausing excessive heat and wear. Iam trying to find an inexpensive solution =
for fitting larger rear discs. Anyone tried this?

  Regards,

  Robert
