[snipped George E's assessment of EDL on A4]

If the system works more often on the rear wheels, then it'll balance out
brake wear. With my 60/40 weight split, the rear brakes have little chance
of excercising themselves.

Took me about 2 weeks of driving around to wear down surface rust on the
rear discs during one winter of neglect. Penanace, I guess.

And I doubt low speed intermittent operation of brakes could rival them
90-60 radar-detector-on-full-blare braking manoeuvres.

EDL away . . .
