Re: UFO brakes

Peter--

Good summary.  One thing to note--the factory/dealer retrofit for the UFOs
(for both '91 200q and V8s) used a '92 S4 strut/hub.  there is a slight
difference in hub location compared to the earlier type 44 cars ('5k/200
through '90)  doing the retrofit with the earlier car strut/hub requires
more parts--i believe including the subframe and lower control arm.
