with ref to the mk3 set up, what about the mk3 vr6 what would be required for that to be fitted to the mk2, rather than pay for an over priced g60 set up.?

I've fitted a 16 Valve servo and master cylinder to mine along with braided hoses throughout, and that does the job fine

you can use 288s on a 4stud hub, just need to re-drill the disc.  but tbh bit of a ball ache for not much more brakign effectiveness over 280s which are a bolt on swap.
