[V8] UFO US

[bkrussow at comcast.net]

How available are new UFO rotors here in NA? I would prefer to retain the UFO set up. I like the uniqueness of them. Mine are still good and expect them to last quite some time yet. The brake bomb is another story.

 The below is not really correct either. UFO CARS FROM FACTORY 
All US '91 200 got UFO's from the factory.  Any that had G60 were converted in the USA under Customer Complaint Brake Service Advisory 1992.  Many dealers converted NOS (untitled 91 stock) as it was a generous time-unit job. 
All US 1990 and 1991 v8 (plus early VIN 1992) all got UFO from the factory as well. Any that had G60 were converted in the USA under Customer Complaint Brake Service Advisory 1992 (1992-1994 US delivered v8 equipped with G60's).  Again, many dealers converted unsold 91 v8 stock, which many believed were "G60 factory brakes". 
Early VIN 1992 S4 (1992-1995 US delivered S4/S6 equipped with G60) 
  
In EU, UFO CARS FROM FACTORY 
88-91 200tq worldwide (US 88-91 200 10vtq used either G60 or ATE single piston), 
89-94 v8   
92-94 S4 

The UFO was a great setup (i personally think it still is), but it got a bad rap because it had the reputation for bad heat dissipation in stop and go traffic.  The G60 gets a worse rap since that time, because it's carrier and pins warp with heat....  Read the underwhelming aspect of the G60 is not a function of rotor, pad or caliper. 

Cheers and HTH

This is incorrect, the models I originally listed were the US models that got UFO's.  Not all but only the 20VT 200's, and all 1990 V8Q's too.

Point of clarification, UFO in   the US are found on 1991 200 and v8 only.

UFO Brakes were only used on the 1991 200TQ 20V and the 1990 and '91 V8Q.
