rear calipers

[jdbubb at ix.netcom.com (Dan Bubb)]

I know a guy that is using the MK IV calipers. The pistons are quite a bit
bigger which transfers too much braking force to the rear and will cause the
rear tires to lock too easily. He has to use an additional brake bias valve
in series with the stock proportioning valves to cut the pressure enough to
make them work correctly. I'd stick with the lateA2/A3 calipers. Yeah, they
are a pain to bleed but they're cheaper than original and they don't seize
up as easily.
