[urq] RE: Bigger UrQ brakes

To address a few question easily.
1st as John mentioned you will need 16 rims or bigger.  Given that we are 
increasing rotor diameter by 36 mm, and after G60 there are no larger mods I 
know that run 15's, and many already running bigger tires/rims I figured 
this was self evident.
2nd, this is bolt up to UrQ and type 44 G60 applications, no cutting, 
welding, core returns, etc.
3rd, I know the TT is single piston vs g 60 twin.  Is it a step back wards?  
Well, the TT out weighs the UrQ by 500+ lbs and Audi went with the caliper 
(say what you will about Audi brakes).  The A8 outweighs the UrQ by 1000+ 
lbs and we'd use that rotor.  There are listers running this set up and I've 
asked for some testimonials plus or minus.
Lastly I am looking hard at this as an option to bring our braking forward 
20 years, with NOS parts, at a large savings to both factory prices and 
other aftermarket alternatives.  I need 10 participants to make it happen in 
its current iteration.  Non other than the List Meister has also offered his 
help to get best pricing so stay tuned.
Mike
