Subject:Audi 5000 discs on a Vanagon - anyone do this?
From:David Marshall
Date:Mon, 24 Aug 1998 18:30:24 -0700

While I was at the Great Canadian VW Show in Coquitlam I run into a bunch
of Vanagon owners.  One of them told me their friend was using the front
disc brakes from an Audi 5000 Turbo / Quattro on the rear of their Vanagon.
 Supposedly it is a direct bolt up and there is a little monkeying around
to get the ebrake to work.

Anyone ever try this?

Also does anyone have a line of Syncro LT brakes?  I'm finding with the
extra power that I am running I need to stop the Double Cab a little faster.
