Brake caliper OEM Volkswagen or OEM Audi

I'm running the audi calipers and G60 11" rotors and drums in the rear. love the brakes on my car

I used some dual piston calipers from the Audi, and the fit under my 15's with like a quarter inch clearance. These are more braking power than is needed. The pads are much larger than the stock pads, and if you really step into the pedal they will lock the tires up at any speed!

These calipers came off an audi 5000 turbo and each caliper has 2 pistons (dual piston) this means you will get a great amount of breaking force with each pump. These are a GREAT UPGRADE for your track car or daily car without having to spend so much money to get aftermarket brakes.

I only ask because Ive been running this set-up for 2 years now. And its a minimal change, if not the same, effort to push the pedal...But the car is alot more controlable when braking than it was with the G60 set-up. Personally I like it better than most high performance set-ups for braking and feel...but it could stand to lose a few hundred lbs from the calipers.

Braking is sure, thanks to large four-piston calipers all around, though the pedal effort is not as progressive as I'd like.

I had this problem with my 90 GLI. It was the parking brake mechanism on the caliper of the right rear wheel. It had seized, not allowing the caliper to release when I released the parking brake lever. I had to replace the caliper.

ultimately you will need a new caliper, because the parking brake mechanism ins't rebuildable by itsself. It's a common vw problem, actually, both my parking mech's are seized. just don't use the e-brake. and don't buy a rebuilt caliper - they never last.
