This is a whole kit???

If so - WOW!!! :beer

Good price neil.

I will be saving my pennies !

Any cheap front disc upgrades up your sleeve ? Can you do the same thing up front with Ford floating discs etc ?

hi seagull, do these change the wheel track? if they do do u know by how much?
Regards Mitchell

The mounting surface of the wheel on the disc with Falcon rears is the same - or within a few mm - of stock, so no it doesn't change your 'track' (dependent, of course, on wheel selection)

Working on this as we speak !

doug , The front disks will come allong when I find a bug , 15 window to do it to.
walter, what vwcool is saying is true

Good price Neil! (free bump)

If you already have front disc brakes then you can get new front disc rotors in Ford stud pattern fron V Force in Sydney, mine were $290 pair plus $18p/h to BNE and were fitted with studs.

this will only give you a "standard" brake setup in ford pattern. What I'm working on is a non standard brake setup e.g. ventilated disc and larger caliper.

this is the rear disk and hub ( all in one from V force ) they can drill the PCD what you require ( not wide 5 ) on this disk .

The ford disk can be drilled and the hubs top of page are blank

as for bigger caliper vented disks , we all are not race car drivers Craig , just would like disk brakes 😉

:thumb Craig doesn't need brakes for his hillclimb car... because brakes just make him go slower! It's the stupid, silly, sick 220km/h road Bugs hanging around at Craig's house that need a beefy vented front disc...

I was mainly thinking about brake balance given that your rear discs would then be larger diameter, larger pad area and larger pistons than your fronts. Thought it might make it a bit taily under brakes.....

That's why you fit bigger, fatter, beefier, stickier vented mofo brakes to the front! 😉

Hey craigie we already have a FAT ASS vented, crossdrilled rotor with alloy hub and alloy caliper thats is that much lighter than a vw caliper you begin to wonder wat is in the vw caliper. My brother has these on the front of his car and im doin them for mine now. His brakes are AWSOME!!
