G60 Conversion on `89 90 Quattro

[Mark L. Chang]

Jim/Todd:

You can use the G60s on the '89 90q. I helped a buddy do this to his '88
90q. You just need the carriers and the calipers from either a 5k or
CQ. (Todd, yes, the CQ had G60s standard.)

WRT to leading vs. trailing edge and smaller piston vs. bigger piston,
well, I dunno about that one.
