most VWs & SEATs of around the same age will have them, just check the calipers, if they have a massive spring on the outside then they are the early type, if not they are the later MK3 type :)
You can use MK4 calipers, but you need a conversion brake hose to fit.  But they are alloy so lighter and wont rust :)
