[V8] UFO US

[Kneale Brownson]

I have two new sets I bought years ago when Parts Connection had a sale, 
and one used set with lots of meat left that  I don't know where they 
came from.  I used to have three cars with UFOs, but now I'm down to 
just the 200q20v avant.  I was going covert my 20-valve sedan BACK to 
UFOs, but didn't, so I have a set of UFO uprights too.  My kids probably 
will wonder WTF is this stuff when I kick off.

As Scott says, you probably can find the rotors for less than a bar of 
gold if you bargain properly.

> 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".

> 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.
