welcome to the forum, try jabba sport for the conversion module to get the rev counter working on the original corrado clocks

sounds like you've been busy then, bet it'll be a beast when its all done, iv been having problems with the abs after a garage changed my rear discs and pads but used the old abs rings so now i think they've gota strip it back down to put some new rings on, pain in the arse! due a service too but im not sure who to take it to, preferably someone who knows g60's local to me or ill have to make the trip to g-werks who i know i can trust, just petrol to get there and time?

How Long is a piece of String??????? Whichever ones you want, easiest upgrade is to G60 280mm, then theres late VR6 Golf/Corrado 288mm but you'll need to change the hubs, Leon/TT 312mm, brembo 305mm or the Cupra R Brembo's, Get some off a Porsche etc etc etc

 

The decision is yours!
