hey slug you will need master cylinder from under the bonnet, the whole rear beam assembly (to make it easier cos i think the stub axels are different)  the front hubs, and calipers, caliper carriers (should be on hubs) then new discs and pads.  you would have to take the hubs off the jetta and compare them to yours to make sure they would fit cos there are 90 spec ones (all the same) and ones prior to that ( all different)
