    BITDI Brake upgrade options?

    Wondering what the recommended options for upgrading the brakes on a C7. 5 BITDI Avant would be? I feel this thing needs better stopping power. It definitely stops, but not as well as I feel it should in some situations especially at higher speeds. Compared to my ex-bosses C5 RS6 that thing...

    Doe's anybody know of any car trackers out there that provide VHF units other than 'Tracker'?

    Anyone have an opinion on these wheels from Ebay. They look great and are much cheaper than one from a breaker/write off etc. Has anyone used one, or have opinions on whether they are a good/bad idea.
