I had an 81 scirocco with the corrado 4 wheel disk brake conversion, it is
guaranteed to bolt on and is a bolt on for all A1,A2,A3 chassis.....  But you
need 15inch wheels to make the front rotors fit......  A 16v GTI 4 wheel disk
brake conversion would be second best, and beats the stock setup by leaps and
bounds.....  Why would one want to add the audi variable into the equation?
