hi All.
just wondering if there is a supplier of disc brake conversion kits for a T25. I have seen them on overseas sites but want to buy local. Dont want to have to make anything, just bolt of bolt on.
Thanks.

Gidday Mark, I have looked into this for a while and the kits available don't seem to have "great" reviews.
Many T3 owners that have completely rebuilt standard brakes suggest that these are more than adequate.
Keeping back brakes well adjusted is the key to a good pedal and progressive braking.

thanks for the advice. I used to do all the work on my bays myself and they were good enough, but then they never went very fast. i am planning a subi conversion and it is generally recommended to upgrade them, though this seems to by always by the guys selling the conversions, as distinct from the owners themselves.

I haven't had a drama with braking heavily or brake fade, these vans are designed one tonner, VW should have got it close.
