G60 calipers onto CGT

[JShadzi at aol.com]

Thanks Ti, so ya, Matt, a good upgrade, especially for your light car is the Scirrocco brakes, get some stainless lines, new rotors, and some Hawk Blue pads, for example, and you'll have some pretty serious brakes, for pretty affordable.  Try calling RPI, they sell some brakets that help adapt the earlier VW cars (same caliper spacing as yours), that would allow you to do the bigger Corrado brakes too.
