Before we all go out running after GTI brakes, note of course this guy is talking about a RABBIT truck, for which it is indeed a bolt on procedure, plus ideally a bigger master cylinder and maybe a little clearancing of the rear axle. In fact better work as the only reason I bought the '85 GTI was to put the discs on my '79 Scirocco. John vwbus@mindspring.com |
