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

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.
