[V8] UFO brakes at Audi

Perhaps I should have said that Audi USA is no longer supporting the V8
Quattro's UFO brakes.  Here in this country, a great many V8's and 200
20Valve cars were converted to G60s due to warping.  I am not surprised that
they may be unavailable here now, as there are some hoses for the 200
20Valve turbo that are no longer available through Audi.

UFO calipers in the US from the franchised Audi dealer were about $1400.
That is one reason why I was so interested in aftermarket brake systems for
this car.  IF it came down to $1400 for UFO calipers and $12-1300 for a
conversion to something else, I would have to think long and hard about
which way to jump.
