[s-cars] Documentation on Hapersizing rear brakes...

Hap et. RBRwannaB's.:
You might want to grab Jan 2004 issue of Grass Roots Motorsports ("Gimme a 
Brake"  pp 95-103) to help you understand my concerns/plethora of posts wrt Big 
Red rear brakes.  This technical article walks you thru the basics to balanced 
chassi/braking systems.  Included in the article is a great graphic "Stopping 
Distance vs Brake Bias - 2001 Audi S4" that shows you may not be getting much 
more than looks without a proper balance front AND rear, regardless of butt 
dyno or feel.  The authors concur my thoughts on the dangers of big rear brakes 
with no other changes, read: it's not a plunk and dunk addition.

Two interesting things to note:  Audis stock brakes are tough to beat in 
measures of stopping distance.  4 channel ABS doesn't solve all the issues wrt big 
rear brakes vs stopping distances.
