Some day.....
I'll take this:
Lots of inspiration from this:
And create this:
Thanks to dubmodder.com
Somebody told me I had Corrado front brakes and the snowflakes I want won't clear. That's why I have Rotas in this picture.

Nice creation you made there! Actually, you should look up Kammy's recent upgrade to her pristine Cabby-it looks a lot like the one you made

shameless plug in the name of trivia: Did you know that my very own Crabby Cabby was used as the Dubmodder Cabiolet model?

Re: Some day.....
Measure the rotor diameter. I did some ETKA lookup a few months back, sorry, I didn't get any 'raddo specs.leah's_dad wrote:........Somebody told me I had Corrado front brakes and the snowflakes I want won't clear. That's why I have Rotas in this picture.
Stock Cabby rotors are 239mm, 16V 'rocco rotors are 256mm, both fit under snowflakes.
Two other A3 sizes I found were 280mm and 288mm, both of those are 5 lug.

There's a good chance they are 16v Scirocco brakes up there.
I've not seen too many folks put raddo brakes on the cabbies. However, since I know that car was converted to disk in the rear (and chances are good that they are also rocco brakes) you will want to make sure to upgrade the master cylinder to a 16v rocco one or 28mm I think it is if it hasn't been done already. Otherwise you will get squishy pedal. Some nice SS brake lines will help firm things up real well also.
Oh an you are correct on the measurements. 9.5 for stock cabby front disks and 10" for rocco 16v front disks. 8v rocco fronts are the same as a cabby.
