[urq] FW: Brakes for the UrQ

[urq]

... since we're talking about a V8 you should install UFO brakes ... 

Just kidding of course ...

Subject: Brakes for the UrQ

 

After my first track event with the V8 UrQ I'm looking for better brakes. I
currently have the Ur S4 rear brakes and up front I have B4 A4 calipers and
rotors (much better than the G60s in my opinion). Does anyone have any
suggestions? 

 

I have test fit a set of big reds but they require 17" wheels (which I have)
but do not work well with the deep dish wheels I currently have, as they
require another 20mm of back space. 

 

I have a set of Audisport Alcon Type A racing calipers that use 312mm rotors
and 16" wheels but I'm concerned the pads are a little small, despite the
fixed 4 piston set up. Thoughts?

 

What about sport quattro brakes? Would they really be any better than the
288mm A4 set up? 

 

I could use the 3.0L B5 A4 312mm brakes and rotors, but will I see a
difference there I wonder? 

 

Anyone know of a good brake set up for the UrQ. I'm willing to sacrafice and
go to 16" or 17" wheels, but I need a low back space requirement. 

 

Thanks in advance.
