[V8] Another brake question . . . I know, I know. . .

[Ingo Rautenberg]

I didn't think he was being sarcastic.  I think by definition that if it
fits on 200q20v with UFO's it fits on the V8 equipped with UFO uprights -- 
as these are the same.  Just that 17 inch wheels are required - likely with
minimum offset of ET35 as well...
