    new MC is now installed :) noticed when i was bleeding the brakes, that the left rear abs ring is pretty muched f|_|cked. so, thats why i have been having some strange noises from rear. the abs ring catches the bearing housing. well, going to remove the driveshaft. and clean it up. and remove the abs ring :) as its no longer needed

    the torque i’m using when putting the center nut back, is that the same as on the front? 265nm?

    well, i knew i’d get more negative camber in the rear when lowering, but damn. some agressive camber going on here :P

    Thats why you need the camber adjusters

    how can you adjust camber on the syncro? i know you can adjust the toe in using those Ushaped plates and exentric bolts. but the camber? how? :) tell me

    Exactly the same way but with vertically instead of horizontally mounted plates

    okai. this will be done with my new rear subframe :)

    anyhow. my left rear brake cylinder let go today. and instead of buying a new one, i’m converting it to discbrakes a little sooner then i wanted to

    have only a few parts, and need to source the others real fast

    what i need is

    both rear calipers
    discs
    both wheelbearings (i mesured the inner race to be 39mm)
    e-brake cables (from where? isnt these dropped?)
    hard brake pipes
    rubber brake lines

    the carriers is about all i’ve got for this :)

    oh well, time to search some ebay i guess. the rear calipers are the same as the fwd ones? its just the carriers that is different?

    ok so no shipping to you, but it gives you an idea of what you want, if you like they can be sent to me here then on to you?

    re cables

    The Golf 3 Syncro drum & disc brake cables are 1592mm, 12mm or 1/2 an inch longer than the original ones,

    I think that these may be the ones to go for,

    p/n 1H0 609 721B for drum brakes
    or
    p/n 1H0 609 721C for disc brakes
