[urq] A4 brakes on urq

[Brandon Rogers]

Yup got the scoop from Ben H - bolt on affair - except the brake lines -
which have a banjo fitting vs. thread-in on stock.  So they should be
lighter than G60s and have a bigger rotor at 288mm vs 276mm - but I
still wonder if they are an upgrade...I guess b/c the single vs dual
piston thing...?

Hows the '85 coming along - I hear it's getting (got?) paint?

Brandon:

On my 20v urq (formerly Dave Dawson/Rich Letsinger's), Rich installed a 
Stoptech A4 big brake kit, and would swap back to A4 calipers when he
needed 
clearance for winter wheels.
As far as I know, it is a straight bolt on.
