Fairly simple... if you have access to a small machine shop. The holes in the Audi calliper carrier need to be enlarged and moved (in? - can't remember at this moment) so that they line up with the Syncro hub assumable. You need a 7mm spacer (nut shaved down) and an 12.9 hardness 60mm long bolts with a recessed 'Allen key' head that will fit into your newly machined calliper carriers. These 'studs' point inward. At this point you just use nuts to hold on the new calliper assembly. You will also need a custom length brake line as well. Hopefully this makes sense - I have the flu / pneumonia and I really can't think too clearly for the past few days. :( David Marshall Fast Forward Automotive Inc. 4356 Quesnel-Hixon Road Quesnel BC Canada V2J 6Z3 http://www.fastforward.ca mailto:sales@fastforward.ca Phone: (250) 992 7775 FAX: (250) 992 1160 - Vanagon Accessories and Engine Conversions - Vanagon, Transporter and Iltis Sales and Importation - European Lighting for most Volkswagen models Due to the large volume of email we receive, PLEASE include previous emails when responding.

SLC, UT My only comment to this is why rear discs? You do only 30% of your braking with the rear brakes. A new set of shoes and new pistons will cost a heck of a lot less than a disc brake system. My experience with VW / Audi rear discs is that the ebrake system usually binds after a few years. If I was going to spend money on a brake system I would install Audi 100/200 dual piston callipers and 276mm vented rotors up front.
