Hey Chris,

I upgraded to the Audi brakes (kit from VolksCafe), and have the
original calipers + powerslot rotors on the shelf; the van is a 91, so
I don't know what else you'd need to acquire for the retrofit. Let me
know if you're interested and we can figure out a price. I'm in Mtn
View, CA 94043.
