Searchy searchy. I've covered this one more than once. Look in the MK2 and MK3 sections as it's pretty much the same stuff. Also... check out MK1love.com. I've covered it there too.

Yea i was going for no where near the looks, just wanted a little more stoping power, but it needed rear brakes too. Last week i put all new drums, wheel bearings, wheel cylinders, brake shoes and all new hardware on, so that will be good for a while. Along with ebc pads and stock brembo oem replacements upfront, it stops awesome for what it is.
