[s-cars] URS Brake upgrade options

[Taka Mizutani]

The only "true" OE alternative is to use the two piston Lucas/Girling setup
from the later Euro-spec UrS- you'll need strut assemblies from a Euro-spec
S4/S6 ('93 or '94 was the changeover),
calipers from the same car or a B5 S4tt, rotors from the same.

The other "true" OE alternative is to source UFO rotors and calipers as they
were the OE-spec in Europe until the later setup- Euro cars never had the
G60s.

I think you would be a lot better served just getting brackets and calipers
from ECS, 034 or one of the several other alternative vendors and using
Porsche calipers, which will yield better pedal feel due to the fixed
caliper design vs. sliding caliper. Some of these kits use the D2 A8L rotor,
which can be sourced relatively inexpensively.
