Rear disc conversion a big success

["Kris Rayner" <veritech@fix.net>]

Well I started my rear disc brake conversion on my '81 S Saturday 
afternoon by rebuilding the calipers and finished it this afternoon 
with a big grin on my face!  Despite what others have claimed, I 
personally noticed a big difference in braking after the swap.  I feel 
part of this is do to the fact that my suspension setup doesn't allow 
for a lot of weight transfer as does the stock suspension.  I did 
some several quick stops with no lockup and a good pedal that 
was easy to modulate.  Note that I didn't use the 16V proportioning 
valves either.  All the parts came off of a Golf GTI 16V except for 
the e-brake cables which I purchased new for a Scirocco 16V.  If 
anybody has any questions about the swap, let me know.
