[s-cars] Big brakes and 16" wheels

[Mike Fitton]

Mmm...I seem to remember going through this in my head when I did mine 
about a year ago.  314mm rotors and monoblocs versus 323mm rotors and 
two-pieces calipers.  Ultimately I chose the larger heatsink for my 
3800-lb car and the substantially cheaper calipers The steel Audi 
brackets over the aluminum aftermarket brackets didn't hurt either.

-Cheers!
Mike
