I understand they are super heavy, super expensive, and warp super easy. aside from that they were great.
Sorry, I meant the old, old Audi 90. Had inboard brakes on the front, next to the engine. Pads lasted just a few thousand miles because they suffered from the heat.

I meant that brakes are easier to cool at the wheel, than inbooard.

With inboards, the axle shaft twists when you brake.
