[s-cars] UrS4 brake hardware question

[Taka Mizutani]

BTW, forgot to mention in my initial post- the later Euro UrS brakes require
strut assembly replacement-
the mounting points are totally different, you'd have to get the assemblies
off of a Euro-spec car or see if
Hoppen in Florida still have any of these (they were sold as upgrades years
ago).
