3rd. I have an old UUC SS (set at 40%). Works great.

Who has the UCC SSK? And what A8/S8 upgrade kit? Would I just get A8 rears for an upgrade?

I've only tried my Stratmosphere one and I really like it.

Default I've had UUC (@40%), ToyGuy and B&M - I like the B&M the best....it's definately notchy, but
like it that way. Seems the shortest of all the ones I've tried.

Also, I have the S8 rear upgrade - the only difference between the S8 rears and the S4 rears are the carriers and the rotors. The caliper is the same.

Nonetheless, overall, S4 brakes are better than A8 brakes.
