[V8] G60 Brakes

[Buchholz, Steven]

... ISTR hearing that you need different struts to swap over to G60s ... if the car you got the brakes from can surrender struts, I *think* it may work ... but be sure that you don't need front half shafts before going too far!  I'm pretty sure the G60s are compatible with each other ... 

I also seem to remember seeing a post to the marketplace where someone was selling adapters that would adapt the UFO strut to TT calipers and A8 rotors ... I'd bet you'd need 16" wheels with this set up, but at least it isn't a downgrade from the UFOs.  BIRA.ORG has a version of their "System 2" which will bolt onto a UFO strut ... but here again they say *some* 16" wheels will clear their system.  

Why is it that you feel compelled to get rid of UFOs?
