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 ?
and has anyone done it befor ?????

cos of the odd way that site works you cant get a direct link. but you need to go into the forum then Technical Queries then FAQ and Guides and then it the top post, hope it helps, it did for me

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