| Hi i just bought myself a corrado valver, but the brakes are shot to pieces the passenger side rear caliper is seized open and the passenger front caliper has a bleed nipple snapped off. So i thought i would take this opportunity to upgrade my brakes, was thinking about g60 fronts, and i heard that alot of corrado owners use mk4 golf calipers? Just wanted to get the opinion of some more seasoned dubbers who forquent these forums!
Thanks Greg | |

| Tom if they are the same i could very well be interested how much you looking for them? What size are the discs on them do you know?
Yeah this is the one that was on edition needs abit of work mainly little things, need a front splitter, speedo sender, water temp sender, bit of tlc and it will be right as rain. Had to drive it back from sheffield with no brakes, hair raising to say the least! | |

| The discs will not fit surely as the rado is 4x100 and the golf is 5x100 | |
