[s-cars] Woah- me too!

[Matt twentyV]

Can I just swap the brackets and keep using the 933tt
rings with the ECS hats?  Or would that require a
different/ custom hat?
And btw the only pads I've found to be relatively
quiet is Mintex Red Box.  Hawk HPS and Mintex-C both
squeal badly even with anti-squeal on the back of the
pads.
