Can we talk MK1 brakes for a second?

From memory (and you have to remember this was over 20 years ago) the Commodore calipers bolt straight on.

You need to find a museum that has old Sigmas and Commodores for the parts.

Don't fit standard Golf brakes, GTI ventilated disks and calipers stop heaps better and should still be cheap.

I'm not bothered by an upgrade. My current daily is even older and therefore I'm used to massive breaking distances.

That's pretty cool that they can bolt straight on. 3/12 of the guys I work closely with are typical commodore guys (one's a VL nut, one's a VS nut, one's a general commodore nut haha)

If you think that conversion/upgrade will not only be a straight bolt on process but cheaper too, it sounds great!

there was a thread on hear a while back, someone did a complete write up on chucking commo calipers and magna rotors on a golf, if you search hard, you might be able to find it still!

Will mark 2 gti calipers / rotors fit on a mark one ? non gti
