[s-cars] 16" Avus wheels and ECS Stage 3

[LL - NY]

I have the ECS Stage 3 kit and the winter set up is on the 6 spoke Avus'.
There is no need for H+R spacers, as axial clearance isn't that tight. *
Radial* clearance at the beveled ends of the calipers IS credit card
thickness tight, however. IF gravel or anything got caught between the wheel
and caliper it won't be pretty. If you must winter, the slightly smaller
diameter A8 rotor (several Stage II kits use 'em) might provide the extra
peace of mind. I haven't tried the Stage 2 kits, but I'd venture a guess in
street driving there'd be little appreciable difference in performance with
ANY gain in caliper clearance being worth the trade-off.

Just my $0.02
