[urq] Ur-S4 / V8 Ufo brakes

[Ed Kellock]

Per the link from ranwhenparked... are they really that much more
complicated? I don't think so. I've changed many a pad and it's actually
easier than G60s. I've never had one warp. I have them on three cars (2 V8s
and an Avant) and think they're great. Way better than the G60s on my 93 V8.

It's an internal caliper brake design. They look like UFO space ships from

the early sci-fi movie days.
