[s-cars] BB Upgrade - rotor question

[Tony Curran]

Thanks Mike.

The claim made is the calipers are from a '97 911. Maybe I'll have to use a
314x25 A8 rotor.

30 is the width of the friction surface in millimetres.  I'm not sure 
what to make of your caliper being too small.  Maybe suggest a test fit 
just to see what's up.  As for the calipers...they're from a 92-95 
928GTS?  I'm not sure what the older S4 and stuff had for brakes.

I'm using plain rotors and no problems stopping my car.  I think it's 
more about the pad for general purposes.  <insert usual shameless Ferodo 
plug here>

-Cheers!
