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
