[s-cars] Brake upgrade?

[Mark Strangways]

I find the same problems here as well, I use Bira Sys6.
I have the same problems but are worse due to the winter driving conditions.
When it was -20 F the last few weeks, and there was salty slushy crap on the
roads the brakes where not happy at all. You planned your stops a lot
earlier.
The problem may be eased slightly by re-installing the dust shield on the
back of the rotor, but that's not with out some grief in itself..
