quattro Digest, Vol 15, Issue 8

[Steve Sears]

Alex,
I have a set of 20v vented rotors on the back of my '87 5ktq.  They're not
originally spec'd for the '87 (but will fit without modifications and using
the same brake cables, etc., and were available for the 200 IIRC as a part
of the optional "Towing Package".  IMHO, the most noticable effect they've
had on my car is to reduce the warp-induced vibrations that the solid rotors
seemed to gravitate to.
Cheers!

> As far as I know, these rotors will not fit the cars he's saying they
will.  The part number he specifies is invalid for the '86-88 cars such as
the one I have.  20 valves and 20V wagons only.  On the other hand, he's
only asking $28 bux for the pair...
