Rear Disc Brake Kit for 1973-1979 Beetle, Super Beetle, Karmann Ghia, and Thing

Improved stopping power vs. drum brakes
Rear calipers allow you to use the parking brake
Zero offset brake rotors
Stock VW 4x130, 4 lug bolt pattern

This 4 lug, rear disc brake kit allows you to use your parking brake and fits 1973 through 1977 Standard Beetles, 1973 through 1979 Super Beetles, 1973 through 1974 Karmann Ghias and 1973 through 1974 Things with IRS transmissions. This disc brake kit will give your classic VW the stopping power of modern brake technology. All new cars today come with disc brakes because the caliper and rotor design works much better than brake drums with brake shoes. The disc brake kit includes 4x130 brake rotors, new calipers, pads, parking brake cables, mounting hardware, gaskets and instructions. You can choose from stamped steel brake caliper Brackets or "Heavy Duty" cast seel brackets to mount the calipers to the axle housing.

We Recommend Installing a Large Bore Master Cylinder

when installing rear disc brakes, we recommend that you install a large bore master cylinder due to larger diameter of the brake pistons in the calipers versus wheel cylinders. We have two different large bore master cylinders:

This kit includes the following:

4x130 Lug Pattern Brake Rotors with 14x1.5 Threads
Stamped or Cast Caliper Brackets
Brake Calipers & Pads
Mounting Hardware & Instructions

Installation Notes:

All brake parts must be thoroughly cleaned and disc brake grease must be used on all brake pad contact surfaces or brake squeak and vibration may occur.
15" or larger wheels must be used with the disc brake kit. 14" wheels cannot be used.
A large bore master cylinder is recommended if converting to rear disc brakes.

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.
