Post by lukey »

after talking to a friend of mine who has a corrardo and is doing a major brake up grade ,he was telling he that i could put rear disks onto my scirocco gt2 ,not only that but i could upgrade the front calipers too .
so after having a think about it i think i might but need some advise on what calipers to get and how to change the rears to disks , i am an engineer by trade so making caliper mounts wont be a problem ? :scratch:

I'm still on the hunt for calipers to go with g60 280mm discs. Are 1997 golf mk3 vr6 ones correct? Described as 288mm.
