UFO Brakes



Fellow Audians; I had an interesting conversation with Dan (THE MAN) 
Simoes own mechanic the other day about UFO brakes. Mr. Greg Haymann 
of the Autofirm (914.855.0170) say they need not be problematic. He 
states:
	1) There is a brake bias adjustment valve at the rear of the 
	cars that requires a pressure gauge for appropriate	
	adjustment and you never can have too much rearward bias;

	2) Change the brake fluid once a year at the beginning of 
	summer;

	3) Keep the front mounting hubs rust free and as clean as 
	possible;

	4) Make sure the brake duct/cooling vents are wide open (they 
	tend to close up a bit (look under the front bumper for the  
	air flow entry points).

Usual disclaimers and all that. Greg
