Brake calipers question

[buhay6]

Just a quick basic question that I cant seem to find the answer to. Are the single piston brake calipers between the n/t fwd and AWD interchange able
I'm building a 92 tsi AWD out of a 92 n/t gs and I'm missing virtually the whole brake system on the AWD shell.

Yes the front single piston calipers are interchangeable from 90-99. All of the 1g's use a brake hose that is threaded into the caliper and the 2g's use a banjo bolt, but they will all interchange with each other regardless of what they came from.

Ok thats what I was thinking but just wanted to be sure. thanks bryan!

You'll be unhappy with anything less than the dual piston caliper that came out on the 92 AWD's. Trust me, what a difference when I switched. Wish I have done so in 92 when the factory did it for the new model year.

wow you've had your dsm since 92??!! live'n the dream man so jealous of you. The reason I'm not going duel piston calipers are because the single's are all I have access to right now, but when the local crusher finally gets more AWD's in stock then I'll pickup a full set.
Thanks for your input.
