Hi,
i've been gradually buying up all calipers and discs i can get my hands on to work through a front and rear brake conversion.
my previous thread had some 3D cad pics of Leon cupra brakes fitted, finally i've settled on the following:
G60 / ibiza cupra calipers, 944 2.5 16v discs and stock bug discs.
i'm turning down the stock bug disc and re-drilling the 944 disc to 4/130 (wife wants to keep 8 spokes at moment) along with a special spacer and a caliper bracket i'm hoping to get it fitted in the next 2 months.
the rears will be similar to firedancer's excellent conversion although i think i'm settling on BMW discs.
master cylinder is looking likely to be golf or 944 with an adjustable valve.
I still have the golf 4 brake system modelled and some hubs made, so if i can convince the wife to go for some 18" wheels we may use this or..... there may be a 1303 low mileage round the corner!
