[V8] G60 brakes

[ron_01056 at yahoo.com]

Ok, yes. For some reason I thought u said u were using the control arms/ball joint from the C4 cars.

 What i'm not clear about.....but i'm sure they weren't used....is the use of the springs. The 92 urs4's came with factory sport springs. So when Audi put G60 uprights on those customers cars did they just slip the entire upright in there or did they use just the housings alone and put the v8 springs back? 
 Honestly I don't think they would have used the sport springs but I have never heard yeah or neah????

Ron,

No, I meant the UrS4 G60 brake setup (calipers and rotors) plus the UrS4
uprights were used for the upgrade.

Dude, it's been over 20 years since I remember us doing the conversions at
the dealer.

Haven't needed to do so since and not sure I'm going to do so on 5 speed #2
(which still has UFOs).  :P
