[urq] Subject: Re: Urq rear brake upgrade Q

[Harten Eric C Capt 613 AOC/CODP]

Just did this mod a few months ago.  Yes, the UrS4/S6, V8, 200TQ(20v)
rear vented rotors and calipers are all the same.  Yes, they bolt right
up to the UrQ.  Yes, you can get away with the old style cables, however
the newer style work a bit better.  If you let all the slack out of the
old style cables, you can hook the metal balls (at the end of the
cables) into the e-brake arms.  I used to run some 4k calipers that way,
but the cables seized up and I switched to the newer style.  If you do
convert to the new style cables, don't forget to buy the balancing
bracket and longer threaded rod (the one that sticks out of the e-brake
handle) as this system uses two separate cables instead of the single
cross-over one on the UrQ.  It is a very good upgrade, well worth the
effort and/or money.
