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

[Stott Hare]

IIRC, Porsche wised up when they realized that a glut of calipers were 
being sold.  More then would be explained by replacement of original 
parts on existing Pcars...  Economics kicked in, they realized there was 
a demand, and adjusted price upwards to match.  Vaguely like VAG 
realized things weren't selling when they were grossly overpriced, and 
started lowering prices down to a more reasonable number.

At least that is my take on what happened.
