Take your stock rotors/drums to a machine shop and ask them to redrill them. Press in some headed studs and you're ready to go. If you ask me, this whole 'do not drill' rhetoric that is floating around is strictly a marketing ploy. Oops, Ive said too much..

$250 for 4 custom drums and rotors... You are complaining about that how?

That is cheap in my opinion.

beachball6, I see you came back and edited out your original post so that it is now blank. I just wanted to say that we're not being mean nor wanting to push you away. Germanlook is just expensive, that's a fact. You gotta pay to play.

Welcome!! Just remember that the German Look community is based around cars that perform and perform well. As said above, good parts aren't cheap. Good Luck with your project!!

Nice. I have a friend in Southhampton, right off of Busselton, and a few in Bensalem. LOL No, my car isn't in the city. Its at my brother's garage. I'm still looking for one. City's not that bad though.

Definately not trying to scare anyone off. But the GL mods are not cheap either.

Sure some of the CL stuff is cheap... But it really is cheap stuff as well. Get what you pay for.

Now if you want off the chain performance from your VW the GL is the way to go.

Some conversions can be cheap and other very complicated. I think we have a good mix of people here that have gone both ways. So ask away on whatever you need

Take Care,
