The advantage of getting the larger brakes are lost with the 4 bolt hubs.
However; Todd, you may want to consider looking at the suspension and brakes
from the 20v 90 quattro. Not sure if struts will give you any more, but
think you could bolt up the big brakes. Don't forget to get the hub carriers
and, you will need an adjustable proportioning valve.
