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

[Brian Powell]

Well, there are several listers who could never get rid of their
squeel until they switched from the A8 to the 993tt rotor rings (with
no change in pads). I'm glad to see that Dave got rid of his with
backing plates.

I never bothered with the A8 rotors as when I put together my stuff
the dollar wasn't worthless and I got the rotors for $100/pair...
