Also, do those calipers bolt to standard GTI carriers?
Thanks

they calculated this in the mag (c&cc) when they did the conversion and it was considered fine. i can't find the article at the moment but if i do, i'll post it up.paul_c said
I don't suppose anyone knows the total surface area of the twin cylinders in the Volvo calipers as a comparison of the stock VW one. This info would be needed to calculate the resulting diameter of master cylinder needed, and/or the change in pedal stroke due to the changes.
