[s-cars] UrS4 brake hardware question

[James Murray]

 Rolf, what about going to the larger European UrS4/S6 rotor? I think it
uses the same G60 caliper, per but you have a larger rotor diameter, I
gather the bracket needs to be changed?(not sure the details). Perhaps
this is an intermediate upgrade at a lower cost?

I heard the Euro S4's had larger rotors, but never investigated the
exact differences between the models. Perhaps someone will chime in...

Time to replace all the brakes on my 94 S4 and i don't want to make the
same mistake i did before. I don't want to upgrade to larger
rotors/calipers etc. The cost is one factor and the fact that this is
largely my winter car (not too worried about overheating my brakes) are
the main reasons. I had previously bought a full kit from a supplier of
this list and just wasn't happy. It included upgraded pads (can't rem.
the exact name) cross drilled and slotted fronts, drilled rears and SS
hoses all around. I didn't get much more stopping performance than what
came off and gradually the brakes have gone away to the point where i'm
simply concerned with stopping in an emergency situation. I've removed
the rotors and recut them, scuffed the pads, and that helped a bit. The
pads still have lots of life left, but i'm fed up with them. I was
thinking of going back to simple stock brembos or maybe the ATE power
slots, with Hawk HP race or HP street pads. I've used these pads on some
prev  ious c ars with very good results. The race pads make allot of
noise and dust, but the stopping power was excellent. Just wondering in
anyone has any other ideas along these lines? Thanks!

Rolf
