Golf G60 Mk2 discs go straight on with the right 4 stud pcd @ 280mm diameter. The calipers are easy to get (mk3 Golf cross matches) but the caliper carriers rarer and expensive - and don't bolt to the strut without an adaptor - so not a direct fit, but not impossible.

An alternative (which I did to my early Fi GT) is to fit MK2 Golf 16V discs (the right 4 stud 100mm pcd) @ 256mm diameter, with later 2.2kv GT or coupe quattro calipers and carriers satisfying the close 76mm caliper carrier to strut mounts - these carriers have a 853 615 125 part number and aren't handed. Calipers are 357 615 123 A (or 4 for the other side), easy and plentiful on the calipers - the carriers quite scarce. Standard brake hoses match up, and you have to adjust the rear brake proportioning valve a little. But someone on here may be able to help if you post a parts wanted ad.



Amazing that even 256mm discs look small on it!
