LA,
Why upgrade to 20 year old technology when you can upgrade to 5 year old
technology for the same price? Go with A4/TT front calipers, TT carriers
and then a "real" 312MM A8 rotor.
I have a kit with everything but the rotors, $450, no core charges, bolt up
no hassles. 16 inch rims needed. Desgined to stop a 4,000 car, should, and
does, stop an UrQ very well!

>So before I order parts, I need your views on these different setups:
Front:
- New stock discs (280mm x 22mm), aggressive street pads (please suggest
brand and compound), use actual stock calipers.
- Upgrade to the G60 setup: please tell me what parts I need to order,
from which car, and what fabrication/modification is involved.
