[s-cars] changing '92 "UFO brake setup"

[Mark Strangways]

Look to Bira.org.

They have a design that replaces the UFO brakes with some Porsche calipers 
and Mercedes rotors I believe.

Might be cheaper than getting struts, calipers, pads, hoses etc. and the 
cost to swap it all out. And the "Since you are in there" ... you might as 
well lower it and do the shocks too.

I would think the Bira system would outperform the G60 Audi stock stuff, we 
always seem to replace them around here.

Another option is getting the Euro struts, they had bigger and better rotors 
and calipers.

Hi,

I want to change the UFO brake setup of my '92 S4 avant for regular ones. I 
understood that I need to replace the whole strut and then exchange the 
shocks/springs back. I ran across 2 options one setup from a '93 V6 and the 
other from a '94 V8 C4 (audi 100). I've never done such a swap. So I have 
some Q's. Will these fit? What things to check before buying? What things to 
bear in mind before swapping? How to proceed when swapping.
Thanks.
Willem
