Re: 91 V8Q

The V8's displacement was increased to 4.2 liter(up to 276hp from 240 I 
believe, Eliot?)  Basically, the UFO brakes were an inboard caliper setup 
which allowed 12 inch rotors to fit under a 15inch wheel.  Audi's logic 
was so they could run a larger sidewall tire to keep the ride pleasant 
and not give up braking performance.  Unfortunately they are prone to 
warpage.
