thanks for that sandy, but i am afraid that may not fit as i cannot figure out how it can be connected with the hand brake cable :( but thanks anyway.

jeff, what you have on the rear should be from mark 4 golf 20th edition (337/20) right? are they the same setup? i found something on ecstuning: http://www.ecstuning.com/Volkswagen-337 ... ar/ES1959/
is it the same caliper that you're using?

cheers

yes you are correct in stating that the front calipers will not do the rear

I have a set of front 312mm calipers and carriers off an Octavia VRS...plus i have the rear 256mm calipers and carriers...these can be sold as a whole set or will sell just the fronts or just the rears.

Make me an offer if your interested or PM if you want pictures :)
