RE: '91 200 Q brakes

[Peter Henriksen <peterhe@microsoft.com>]

So does anybody have their carbon fiber pads installed?

I just talked to them and lo and behold! They have both carbon fiber and
semimetallic pads for the my UFO brakes! Hallelujah. Of course, maybe I
should keep my socks on until I actually see them and make sure they're
right...

Also, what tends to be best for everyday use with the occasional track
day? Semi metallic or carbon fiber?

Thanks (in advance).
