brake upgrades



i swear that i have read about this somewhere, but i cant seem to 
find it in the archives, so here it is.

recently, i have came up with the idea to upgrade the front disc/rear 
drum setup on my 81 4k to the 4-wheel disc setup from a 16v 
scirocco.  i have read that they are a direct bolt-up replacement for 
my old brakes. i have emailed people from scirocco.org who 
advertised parts cars, and i dont think that it would be too difficult 
to get my hands on parts.  i have seen Huw's page about it, but 
after looking at my front wheels (factory 81 alloys), i am wondering 
if i have the room under the wheels. the job doesnt sound too 
difficult (knock on wood?)

also, i have heard that powdercoating calipers is a good power 
booster. price? where would i go to have this done?

thanks
