BEETLE HIGH PERFORMANCE VENTED DISC BRAKES

VWCOOL · 2008-03-14T22:22:59+00:00

I have high performance Beetle brake kits for sale. This kit meets the intent of all Australian states' 'modified vehicle' engineering guidelines for hassle-free engineering/mod plating VENTED FRONT From $1320 inc GST * 287x24mm high quality DBA 'Kangaroo Paw' slotted rotors * CNC machined hub with M14x1.5 studs * CNC machined caliper brackets to suit PBR Commodore calipers * CNC machined stub axle (exchange required) * Included are all new bearings, seals, high tensile bolts required to install * Components electro-plated for corrosion resistance * No increase in wheel track dimension - no guard rubbing * Formidable stopping power and fade resistance * Ideal for Subaru transplants where vented brakes 'to donor car specs' are required for engineering/mod plate/legal street registration. To keep the bucks down, this kit in its basic $1320 form is supplied without callipers so you can source your own choice of second-hand or rebuilt Commodore callipers. I can supply second-hand calipers for $80pr. I can provide brand new calipers (as pictured) and quality 'street' pads for an extra $400 bringing the total - as pictured - to $1720. As you can see, they look nice painted! VW and Porsche stud patterns in stock; other stud patterns by request: Add $100 for Porsche stud pattern. Other stud pattern - $POA These brakes require a minimum 15-inch aftermarket wheel. These brakes will NOT fit VW steel 'widies'. Bias valve and/or master cylinder upgrade is required. This kit is not intended for cars with rear drum brakes. Available for immediate shipping for Beetles: Ball Joint - 'small' and 'large' tie rod styles L-bugs (2-bolt front end) 3-bolt Super and Type III - available to special order REARS: from $990 * NOW INCLUDES PADS AND NUTS!! * I have this light but effective rear disc kit that is a good match for VWs with standard 278mm front discs. It can also be teamed with the big vented front kit. This kit meets the intent of all Australian states' Codes of Practice for Light Vehicle Modifications. As with my front kit, I save all the hard work of a 'custom' brakes kit by providing all the machining and hardware required to fit your choice of second-hand or rebuilt callipers and provide cleaned/inspected second-hand 'core' callipers for free. * 260x10mm DBA solid disc * Brand new hub machined from quality German-manufactured core * M14x1.5 studs * Kombi wheel nuts * New performance brake pads * Calliper mount machined to suit VW * Handbrake lever and cable mount modified to suit VW * Once again, this is a true BOLT-ON UPGRADE supplied with all new gaskets, spacers and bolts/nuts required * Slotting optional $160 Extra studs and nuts to convert your standard VW front discs can be supplied for $100. This kit weighs less than Type 3 drums and fits inside 14-inch wheels. Inspect, pick up or delivery from Newcastle or Sydney NSW. Shipping I can mail/ship these brakes anywhere by Australia Post etc. Ask and I will quote for you.

ok that means the lower arm will clear. The mounting point on these spindle are higher than stock so bottom will clear, tie rods might be a problem?

yeah Glenn does state to send in the spindles which is fine by me.

Still prefer the package I am working towards. But just weighing up quicker to get/cheaper(?)/one pcakage vs continuing to collect parts and finish the 944T stuff. still need most of the rear end stuff + get the front sorted. and cheaper wheel and maintanence costs in the long term.

Just thinking about stuff thats all......
