[urq] Audi A4 brakes for the urq

[Rich Letsinger]

David,

It depends entirely on how you drive the car.  I took
my urq to the track with a 10v engine and G60 brakes. 
After 5 laps the brakes were fading badly.  By the end
of that day I'd boiled the fluid multiple times, eaten
away 2 sets of pads and warped the rotors.  Totally
pathetic brakes, in my opinion.

Now I have a 350hp 3B and StopTech brakes.  I've done
10 track days, diving deep into every corner all day
long and have never felt a bit of fade.  Pads last me
several days and the rotors are still fine.
