[s-cars] Woah- me too!

[Matt twentyV]

This is looking like a much better way to go:
RS2 brackets $225
new bolts $40
S8 rotors $170

ECS responded, same deal as others report- send in the
old units and they'll send new ones, or buy new ones
and they'll refund the price once the old ones are
returned.  They are $300 for the set.

But with replacement 993tt rotor rings running close
to $200 each (and I need new ones soon), and this car
is street only, the RS2/ A8 will be more affordable
long-term and should eliminate this bracket exposure
too.

Thanks everyone.  I'll report on what I see with my 2B
brackets tomorrow.
