I did the G60 upgrade and we have a big drill press and I used that to drill out the holes.  I bet you could do it with a good hand drill and  a vise as it doesn't need to be totally precise. Just as a side note I did the up grade and I'm not super thrilled with it.  I do have big wheels but still I thought it would be a little better than it was. Let us know how you like yours!

Vanners,

I'm in the final stages of converting my '87 syncro to Audi G60 brakes.

Took the calipers to a machine shop to get the mounting holes rebored to the
correct spacing. Guy says $130.

This sound about right or am I missing something here?
