EMPI's 5x130 or 5x4.75 Bolt On Rear Disc Brake Kit without parking brake fits Swing Axle equipped 1954 through 1967 Beetles, 1956 through 1967 Karmann Ghias and 1962 through 1967 Type 3 models. 1954 through 1957 models will need separately sold Billet Aluminum Bearing Caps (part number 17-2700). This disc brake kit will give your classic VW the stopping power of modern brake technology. The disc brake kit includes double drilled 5x130 & 5x4.75 brake rotors, calipers, pads, 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.
This kit includes the following:
5x130 Lug Pattern Brake Rotors with 14x1.5 Threads(5x4.75 Lug Pattern has 12x1.5 Threads)
Stamped or Cast Caliper Brackets
Brake Calipers & Pads
Mounting Hardware & Instructions
Installation Notes:
1954 through 1957 models will need to order 2, separately sold 17-2700 Billet Aluminum Bearing Caps.
Click here for Quick Bleeder Valves which make bleeding your brakes much easier!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. As this kit doesn't have a parking brake it is more intended for off road vehicles but can be used on street cars where local laws allow, or other parking brake provisions are made. We recommend using a large bore master cylinder whenever installing rear disc brakes, regardless of whether or not you have front disc brakes.
