The problem with any brake swap is that anything that "improves" on UFO
performance requires larger wheels.  If, like myself, you have several
V8/200 vehicles and use winter tires in the winter and summer tires in the
summer, that's a lot of wheels and tires to update too.  I wouldn't say
Audi's use of G60s constitutes an improvement.
