A Mk2 6 line kit will do you just fine here. The Caliper ends up in almost the exact same place as the 9.4 calipers. Ive been runnin Mk2 lines on my 20v car with the Girling 60s for years and theyre not even remotely tight when the car is raised.
Maybe take a look at the Girling 60 calipers and the 11.2 inch rotors from a 'rado g60. Nice large dual piston calipers and 11.2 inch rotors on a mk2 is just about overkill.
i have the girling 60 dual piston calipers i love em i can pretty much lock them any time i want (SS lines and red box pads. stock master cyl)
i have vr6 with g60 rotors mk3 calipers, that i had to grind to fit inside my ra's, and it works GREAT.
I'm not going to get in to what bolts on directly since I love the g60 set up on a mk2. But i will say that anytime you upgrade one part of your brake system some other part will suffer.
They are a direct fit IF you got the caliper carriers too. You will only have to trim the dust shield a little bit that's all.
Personally because of the problem with using 11" rotors with calipers designed to be used with 10 5/8" calipers, AND the excessive weight, I would stick to a VW based brake upgrade. The Girling 60 calipers will fit on the VR6 and ABA steering knuckles, but the brake pads overhang the inside edge of the 11.0" rotors by just under 1/4".
Girling 60's if you want 2 pots. Save yourself the head ache and get some wilwoods in the classifieds if you want more then a Girling 54.
As far as wear goes...I still cant tell a difference. I never changed the pads on my G54s in 3 years and there was plenty left. In on 4 years on the G60s and they are lookin somewhat due for a change but thats more crappy wear then wore out.
are these the girly-girling calipers? the ones with a brake pad the size of a saltine cracker? also known as cracker-pads? if so, throw them in the garbage and set the garbage can on fire.
