Well, it's done! My UFOs are history and, so far, I am elated!  With the
help of Scott Mockry and John Karasaki, my '91 200q has been transformed
from a shakin', vibratin' beast into smooth stopping son-of-a-gun. 
After a couple of false starts due to rotor hat and caliper mounting
bracket dimensional problems, the KVR Performance, AP Racing caliper
based system was installed.  The system, as finalized, is a bolt on
resolution to the infamous Ingolstadt brake mistake. I haven't had an
opportunity to drive the car really hard as in a track experience, but
after a couple consecutive near 100 mph panic abs type stops today, I
can only say "WOW!!".  And the 314mm cross-drilled rotors and massive
calipers look really cool inside those S4 wheels!  I expect to keep
hammering these brakes, as that was part of the deal I made with Terry
Gosse at KVR, my car being a test bed for this system.  I will post any
new developments.
