Right i am currently IRS in the rear with Rear Bay Brakes.

I have been Pricing up a set of Rear disc and they come in at £800 ish.

Currently out of money.....

I am running 15" BRM

Where would i get blank rotor's big enough for a 205 pattern...

To start with....

What is the best calpier to use i have heard passat calipers are very good.

Thanks in advance.

what about a bay rear disk conversion with a set of 5x112 to 5x205 adaptors? a rear bay disk conversion can be done with new disks, calipers and modified rear hubs for about £300

that sounds like a better idea completely.

What do i need and how is it done...

Will it increase the rear width.. I have a set of adaptors already...they are 10mm.

I can supply a bolt on rear disc brake kit will all parts needed for £600. This set up is with later bay 5x112 not 5x205. You will need adaptors if you want to run the early style wheel spacing. This rear disc brake kit can be seen on
