So I want to lose the rear drums on my rocco, I was thinking... Does anyone know how easy it is to just snag some rear discs off a newer Golf/Jetta or something? Anyone done it? You can't spit in the junkyard without it landing on a Golf over here. Couldn't be too hard, right?

| Just took my own advice - tried to find the posts I made on my rear disc conversion on my girl's 1978 Scirocco - no dice. Have older posts been "dumped"?

Re: (ATS)
This is a good writeup. It should be noted though that rear discs place certain expectations on the master cylinder and brake proportioning valves - these must be properly addressed before adding rear disks.

You can always swap to a 16v master and proportioning valves...
I used Jetta GLi disks on my Rocco.

After wresteling with stuffing my brakepads into the calipers, I found that I have calipers from a MK1 GTI on my '84. the only difference is that the GTI's pads are a little thinner
