I agree that girling 60 are too heavy compared to 54. With good pads 54 offer more than enough stopping power.

Pros: enough stopping power
Cons: too heavy

I had this retrofit on my Jetta and I was a big fan of it. The unsprung weight complaint I find to be a bit much. As stated above, the weight difference isn't exceptional. The gain here is that you have a greater surface area of clamping force with the addition of an extra caliper piston. Overall, the cost/benefit of this setup is great.

Pros: greater clamping force, cost benefit great
Cons: unsprung weight complaint

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.

Pros: lines not remotely tight

The Girling60s weigh an absolute ton, but yield no performance advantage over a G60 setup. IMHO better street config is: - 22mm master cyl. Note that the later cabby MC is not 22mm. However the brake booster can accept one. - Corrado G60-compatible quality 11\" discs - Corrado G60 calipers and carriers - Good pads. I run Hawk HPS myself but there are several good choices - An appropriate set of adapters Personally I have rear discs and adjustable brake bias. I found it necessary to tune the balance after installing bigger, bitey-er brakes, and a heavier engine.

Pros: Good pads, adjustable brake bias
Cons: weigh an absolute ton

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".

Pros: fit on VR6, ABA knuckles
Cons: excessive weight, brake pads overhang
Vehicle: Volkswagen

On my '93 I think I've deduced it's the crappy Girling calipers' slide guide pins being worn and allowing for some play in the calipers or it's just a crap design.

Pros: easy to diagnose
Cons: worn slide guide pins

G60's didnt clear the 15's i bought. Went with smaller girling 54's with 11" discs instead cause I liked the wheels to much. Ive heard the g60's are heavy pos anyways.

Cons: heavy
