golf calipers

Im taking a trip to the scrappy 2moro in search of some rear brake calipers. I believe that golf calipers are widely used. First question is what size discs are these calipers good for?

Secondly just want to comfirm its a Mk3 golf im looking for?

Thirdly Anyone know if the handbrake lever on the golf is any good? (would be nice just to take the whole system and cables and not have to mess about mixing and matching)

Fourthly what sort of price should i expect to pay for the calipers and a handbrake lever?

Thanks

Mikkel

I think it's the MK4 Golf calipers that finally got the recipe right? It's the caliper that many retro fit to earlier models.
