[urq] Brake Overall

Audi offered a brake downgrade to g60s as a recall because some ufo's
warped, far as I'm concerned jury is still out on why, I have 250k on my
20v and am on my second set of ufo's with never any warping (and I'm not
talking about granny driving here).  Probably people parked to close to
curbs and broke off the brake cooling ducts, or possibly the uneven
cooling of the rotor when hot due to clamping pressure......only bad
thing about ufos is when you put newer spoked rims you don't just see
the gigantic rotor you see the hat. It may be that the ufo setup is
slightly heavier adding unsprung wt but that difference should be
neglible.....

Also several people reported unwarping ufo's by serious heating (several
hi speed stops) and then regular driving.....enough ufo bashing already!

Ah... so you mean this is not a stock application... i.e. not in FA?
Yeah, thought so... just proves my point of confusing people..

Thanks!

    BTW can you tell me how you end up with a non UFO 200q 20v??



  I'm not Scott... but you end up with one because it was dealer
retrofitted
with S4 strut housings and G60 brakes.  Alot of them got this treatment,
including the one I used to own.
