Which swap? the 10.1"?
I was asking in reference to what rabbitman was saying. The calipers do not need to be changed to go from non vented 9.4 to vented.A MKI does not need the spindle changed to upgrade brake diameter and neither does the fox spindle (IIRC). Onl the MKII needs the spindle changed.
Wow, that is really strange. I have never heard of that. Is there a thread or something that he made about it? Pics maybe? Thats one for the database!

Thats one for the database! http://www.vwdiesel.net/forum/index.php?topic=29755.0Yup it was strange, with the piston squeezed back it was still a 3/16" too narrow to fit over the vented disk and proper skinny pads. I compared with other vdubs around here and sure enough, the whole caliper was narrower so I bought new ones off amazon and viola, they fit. This is a '92 german golf that was never meant for north america so lots of little things are different on it........like no rear seatbelts........
You mean the dual rounds? hehe yeah I like 'em too. I've always liked quad rounds better though.......except that that's what everyone upgrades to.They even have the little motors to adjust beam height while driving.
