Besides Hansen, I am currently working on an 4-disc system, but with cheaper
parts.

I hope to get this system ready for half the price of the porsche system,
using vented discs and calipers on the front from the Audi 100/A6 C4
(1992-1997). On the back I will use �02 A4-discs and Golf3 calipers.

The front is complete, but the adapters for the rear aren�t yet.
