While I was at the Great Canadian VW Show in Coquitlam I run into a bunch of Vanagon owners. One of them told me their friend was using the front disc brakes from an Audi 5000 Turbo / Quattro on the rear of their Vanagon. Supposedly it is a direct bolt up and there is a little monkeying around to get the ebrake to work. Anyone ever try this? Also does anyone have a line of Syncro LT brakes? I'm finding with the extra power that I am running I need to stop the Double Cab a little faster.
