[urq] A4 brakes on urq

[Mike Del Tergo]

Eric,
I am as certain as I was when I posted to the thread you noted almost 4 years ago!  (and so are the 8 folks who got in on the GB!)  If you read it all, Justin noted  
 
"It does fit under a 15" wheel with the A4 brake carrier and rotor(288x25). Using that right now....until I can get the TT carriers....$186 eachfrom the dealer."
 
As I mentioned the A4 carrier may allow the 288MM rotor, but that is not enough difference over the stock 276, IMHO, to be worth it.  AFAIK, to use the 312mm as we did, you need the TT carriers.
