Raimond, thanks for the info on upgrading the brakes on the Vanagon....but I
have a few questions:

You are saying that I could install Audi A6 front rotors and calipers on the
vanagon without an adaptor...they just bolt up?

And I can use Audi A4 (2002) with calipers from a Golf3....( What is a
Golf3? )....and these bolt up too.....What about the parking brake cable
attatchment?

Do I need some sort of adaptors to make this setup work......

Thanks in Advance......

Malibu Tony....85' Westy....1.9L    6 degrees BTDC

here�s the post:

--snip--

For all who wanted more Info:

Front:
-vented discs Audi100/A6 (C4, �92-�97), also A4 (�95 and up)
-front caliper from same Audi(s)
-288mm diameter, 25mm thick

Rear:
-"normal" discs, Audi A4 (new model �02 and up)
-rear caliper Golf3 (�92-�97)
-245mm diameter, 10mm thick

The front adaptors should also fit with the bigger Audi brakes, e.g. S4,
S6(+), A8, S8, RS4 (up to 360mm diameter)

The standard (already completed) version requires 15" rims.

Not sure if Audi 5000 calipers fit. I have an Audi 5000 here, but it is
still in use. So I didn�t have time yet to test those calipers. Maybe they
fit, maybe not...

Price: About half the price of a Porsche system (4-discs: 9500DM in Germany)
Price should still be cheaper than the german Oettinger 4-disc-system
(roundabout 4000-5000DM).

No warranty yet on prices, availability or durability. I want to test the
complete setup on the german autobahn ;-)

I am already collecting orders/interests. The more, the cheaper...
Definite prices follow (after everything�s complete, tested and calculated)

P.S.: I installed the rear brakes on my own van last weekend. I�ll be
testing them some time (handbrake has still to be connected) and report
after the testing procedure.
