[s-cars] Front brake research continues...

[Taka Mizutani]

BTW, Igor Kessel mentioned something about shaving a mm or so off of the RS2
caliper bracket in order to center the caliper over the rotor.

I cannot see how a rotor would contribute to brake squeal- the pads are the
culprit.

I get brake squeal in all of our cars with big brakes, even with OEM pads,
the vibration
dampeners and anti-squeal compound on the backing plates.
