Big brakes for A! Caddy Pickup

Hi all, I am getting ready to put a TDI engine in my 81 Caddy pickup but wanted to upgrade the brakes. I had a set of A3 front brakes with spindles and all but they will not fit on the A1. Does anyone have a set of GTI or Scirocco or 16V front brakes (10.5" I think) they would like to sell. I believe that all I need would be the calipers and the carriers as they should bolt right up to my spindles, mated with a new pair of vented rotors, they should really improve the stopping power of the little truck. Please contact me if anyone can help. thanks, Hayden

I have 14" wheels, that was one of the first updates I did. Hayden

while you're at it maybe the caddy already has these, but, i remember the old dasher wagon had larger rear drum brakes and bolted right up to my 78 rabbit scca itb car.... just a thought

I've read "somewhere" that the Caddy has big drums on the rear. This was in response to someone who was contemplating "upgrading" to a 4 disc setup. Word was that the Caddy rear brakes were more than adequate. Fronts are another matter altogether.
