[urq] Brake Upgrades

[Thatcher Hubbard]

The guys at quattro-nut (I think it's www.quattro-nut.org, but you may
have to Google it) had a setup where they'd take SQ rotors and then
machine a bit off the face of a pair of 944 turbo calipers.  I talked
to them about it for a bit.  They may have been working on getting a
pair of Monoblocks under a 15" wheel at the same time.

If you don't mind removing your calipers every year and cleaning them
out, you could put a pair of Wilwoods on it.
