[urq] Brake Upgrades

My brake problems (see previous email) remind me that I really want to
ditch the G60 setup.  I want something better and lighter, but it simply
MUST fit beneath the 8x15 Ronals, and preferably my spare set of Fuchs,
too.

I know the SportQ stuff is one option, but that sounds like big $ and
probably not much lighter.  There were Wilwood and AP kits back when I
looked at this for my '85, but I think both of those were race calipers
without dust boots.

Ideally, I'd like a nice light caliper and two brackets.  One bracket
would be for use with the 15" wheels and either stock or A4 rotor (or
aftermarket AL hat 2-piece).  A second bracket that allowed a bigger
rotor (A8?) when using larger wheels would make a nifty track setup.

I seem to recall someone mentioning a guy in the UK making brackets for
using Boxster calipers under stock urq wheels.  Anyone have that info,
or am I mistaken?
