You may as well get a 2.0 setup bud! Best thing you can do tbh. They do just bolt onto the original hubs. Just go to a scrappy and get the full calliper off a cav or calibra. £20, done!

Piston is bigger, but crucially, the discs are much thicker. Happy days! :)

how about the rear?

any bolt on option here?
been wanting some discs on the rear instead of those ugly drums..
heard something about golf 3 discs or something on a different forum, but we never got a clear answer..
