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

[Serge Filanovsky]

Jay, my understanding is that the current ECS Stage 3 kit is not the same as
what most listers are referring to. It is no longer a Porsche 993 caliper
based kit. I would double check with them if it fits under 16" Avus wheels
at all.

Cheers,
Serge

95.5 S6 Avant
