As far as I know and according to Performance Friction, they do not have an
application that fits any of the VR6 cars.  I have spoken to their head of
development and he feels there is not enough market for that application.  They
did point me to Porterfield in California who makes them from blanks of material
to fit the VR6 cars.  On another note, I have used them in a few of my VWs and
love them - they are great on the track, but they wear quickly under race, i.e.
driver school/track event, conditions.  I buy them for my other VWs for $29.95 at
Auto Zone, a national parts chain and largest distributor of these pads.

Gene,
        From what I understand after talking with Mac Neil Automotive,
one of their dealers, the Carbon Metallic disc brake pads are not made
in a size for our cars.
