      How much is the adapter? And did u figure out which caliper we should use or should we just get all the pieces from the vw mk4?

      you want a complete mk2/mk3 rear disk set up with a mk4 caliper.

      i spent $50 for everything for the conversion out of a junk yard, and i believe its $115 for the adapters.

      if buying brand new you would need this:

      Volkswagen Golf III 2.0 Braking Caliper ES#1928186 Rear Drum To Disc Brake Conversion Kit - 4 Lug - EBK698226A2A34R

      this kit uses the mk4 caliper already. only thing left is adapting the E brake.

      Does it matter if it comes from jetta vs a golf? Don't they have the same suspension/brake setup
