[s-cars] BBK parts accumulating

[LL - NY]

As a point of reference only, I have ECS Stage 3 (993TT calipers on 322 mm
993TT rotors, ECS hats) and the axial clearance with Avus 6 spokes is about
5 mm.  The radial clearance is...about a credit card's thickness or two.

BTW, since I was on ECS's site recently (had to exchange their failed
brackets) and ECS Stage 2 is 993TT rotors on Audi S8 rotors. I think (didn't
check) that Stage 1 is the 996 calipers, don't know which rotors.
