[s-cars] Apikol has braket for 993 C4 caliper

[Theodore Chen]

Actually, BIRA Sys 3 uses 996 monobloc calipers.  I have this setup on my car.

Tony,

FYI, these components are the same components used in the BIRA.ORG 
system 3 brake upgrade.  Sys 3 also uses a BIRA designed custom 
bracket for the calipers.  It's a nice upgrade which I (and several 
others, I'm sure) have on my '95.5 S6.  My brakes have drilled and 
slotted rotors rather than the internally ventilated rotors available 
from Darin of Parts Direct but unless you plan on frequent long and 
hard sessions at the track you are unlikely to actually _need_ the 
added cooling.

It's a nice upgrade - a BIG improvement over the OEM S6 brakes.
