*****SPAM***** 10.1" Calipers Question

[raveracer77 at yahoo.ca (raveracer77)]

    I run PBR metal master and didn't really feel a difference from what was on before from the Previous owner but what I took off could have been something nice I'm not sure.  I also use my car for Street track and here in NM it gets reasonably hot.  The donor for my Disk swap was using something Green.  I don't know what that is but I know there's a decent brand that uses a lime green paint on their disks as a trademark.  My particular problem might be that I have the stock Master Cylinder for the MK1 small front disks and rear drums and I've got Swapped 10.1 Rocco MK2 disks on front and MK2 GTI 8.4 disks on rear.  I should put in a bigger MC to make the diff.  I'll get around to it someday.

  The carriers for the a1 are unique to the 16V Scirocco.  All other 10.1
  cals. came from A2 (or newer) cars.  The issue is you need the A1 (16V)
  carriers to bolt up to the stock points on the spindle (someone correct me
  if I am wrong).

     I have used 10.1 cals that have been sitting for a whole lot longer than
     a year, As long as they are kept in a dry/warm storage I have never had
     issues with the front 10.1 cals.  That being said, you might want to
     just check them out when you bolt them up to ensure they are travelling
     correctly and not leaking - always a good idea to check a couple times
     on brake installs, as they are kind of important :)

     I am sure there will be a whole bunch of opinions on pads and rotors.  I
     have only had experience with road tracks, but the track I run is really
     hard on brakes and I liked the brembo x-drilled rotors and a set of
     wilwood pads (they are a higher heat but not really a race pad so you
     can still run them on the street)
