Terry (or anyone else who has done it), Do you know anyone who has used VT calipers on a 200b/240k strut, if so which rotors do they use? Are brake lines ok or do they also have to be modified? Im guessing VT calipers would still be fairly pricy, its probably best to buy new ones anyway. If I can find which rotors can go with the calipers I'll be attempting this conversion soon. I'll try and take some digital pictures too, so others might be able to do it too. The other problem I will probably have is I only have 14" wheels? If it means buying new wheels too, then it starts getting expensive...
