Rear 5x205 Wide Track Bolt-On Disc Brake Kit With Parking Brake

Bolt-on installation
Parking brake-equipped calipers
VW 5x205 5-lug pattern
"Wide track" rotors

This disc brake kit will give your classic VW a wider rear track width and the stopping power of modern brake technology. The disc brake kit includes 1" offset, double drilled 5x205 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
15" or larger wheels must be used with this disc brake kit; 14" wheels cannot be used
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:

Wide Track Rear Disc Brakes are perfect for off roaders or any VW project that is looking for a wider track width for the rear of their vehicle. The rotors have a 1" wide offset so they increase the width of the rear of the car. 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.
