[urq] Big brakes for urq with 15 inch wheels

[Michael Hopton]

My sport quattro calipers are APs as are all the road and rally cars
I believe. The feel and control are excellent but as Martin says make
sure everything else is true or the slightest vibration, that you wouldn't
feel with G60s, makes the steering wheel vibrate like a demon.

Cheers, Mike

I think this advertisement is appropriate, check it out:

Doesn't that imply that the SQ brakes are in fact Lockheed/AP calipers, or
did the race cars get special treatment and the SQ got somehting heavier?
