VW Disc Brake Kit - Rear - 4x130 - with Parking Brake - 1958-67 Swing Axle

Rear 4x130 Bolt-On Disc Brake Kit With Parking Brake

• Bolt-on installation
• Parking brake-equipped calipers
• Zero offset brake rotors
• VW 4x130 lug pattern

This disc brake kit will give your classic VW the stopping power of modern brake technology. The disc brake kit includes 4x130 brake rotors, calipers, pads, parking brake cables, mounting hardware, gaskets and instructions. You can choose from stamped steel brake caliper brackets or heavy-duty cast steel brackets to mount the calipers to the axle housing. We recommend installing a large bore master cylinder when installing rear disc brakes because of the distance from the master cylinder and the larger diameter of the brake pistons in the calipers versus wheel cylinders.

Installation Notes

• All brake parts must be thoroughly cleaned, and disc brake grease must be used on all brake pad contact surfaces to prevent squeaking and vibration

• A large bore master cylinder is recommended if converting to rear disc brakes

For easier brake bleeding, consider adding quick bleeder valves to your order.

Our Expert's Take:

Rear Disc Brakes are the perfect complement to front disc brakes for those looking for the ultimate in stopping power for their VW. The parking brake equipped rear disc brakes also offer additional stopping power for those that want the extra insurance and performance that disc brakes offer. We recommend using a large bore master cylinder whenever installing rear disc brakes, regardless of whether or not you have front disc brakes.
