g60's on 88 90.. help?

[passat TS]

[ Converted text/html to text/plain ]

I'm not sure about the two pieces strut housing, but I did it with the one
piece.

You use the Coupe Quattro (276x25mm) rotors (around $100 a pair, it's not
bad).

You need around 1/8" spacers between the caliper bracket and strut housing.

Longer bolts to compensate the spacers. I also had to machine the tip of the
new bolts, and I put special lock washers(check Maryland Metrics for the
hardware), just in case.

And last you'll need a longer hose. I bought SS lines. The one I used came
from a S6 and had a male fitting, so I needed a hose with two female fittings.

It's heavy but worked great for me.

Good luck,

Carlos
