[s-cars] BIRA vs Big Red (ECS2, etc)

[matt ludwig]

Not to bring in too many variables to the otherwise speculative 
conversation but. . .

would this mod have any additional benefit to an avant over the sedan? 
I ask because maybe someone like Frederick H. could chime in w/ his 
experiences on long, hard track days in his avant (which if I remember 
correctly has a complete Motiv big brake combo all-around??).

I know the weight increase is not a lot over the sedan (+/- 300 lbs??) 
but the weight distribution is a bit closer to 50/50 than the sedans if 
I remember correctly from another avant owner weighing his avant w/ 
corner scales. Anyway, I am not trying to bring in too many variables 
here, but I think the effect of larger brakes F & R would have benefits 
when biased correctly on our large beasts and should I ever walk into a 
rainstorm of a couple extra thousand dollars, is something I would look 
at very closely. ;)

Sincerely,

matt ludwig.
1995.5 s6 avant.
