D Jarman's rear disc brake kit

I'm still trying to sort out a rear setup. I've been very happy with the willwood front/DJ rear setup on my blue car and consider the bias to be spot on. I've now fitted the T3 wildwood setup to my silver car and have 280zx disc's for the rear. Just need to find some easily available calipers. I had heard that the DJ kit used VW claipers. Can anyone confirm this?

I THINK that is right John, VW Golf. Why can't you look at your blue car's calipers?

The blue car is in storage so not easily accessible. I know the kit uses 280zx disc’s which I already have a few sets of. I’ve just ordered some new MK4 Vw golf Ali calipers and carriers for £110 new. Just need to make some brackets and adapt the cable.

If I wasn’t trying to use up parts I already have then I’d probably just go fo the DJ kit as IMO it’s a much better option for us in the UK due to easy available replacement calipers, discs and pads.

Glad I stumbled across this thread. Looking for a rear disc conversion for mine. What’s the best way of contacting Dave to order a kit?
