There are a couple Jag options, but the most explored uses a four piston
caliper and either a 280mm Eurovan rotor, or a 284mm Jag rotor.  There are
a number of other options including the Passat setup that allow larger
288mm rotors.  I think the primary benefit of this setup is the overall
cost.  I was able to make this swap happen for around $300, which is
considerably less than most kits on the market.  There are quite a few
improvements made over the duration of that Samba thread, so make sure and
read all the way through.  There are some intriguing Toyota options that
show up in the last couple pages.
