Brake set up help!
Ollie - May 22nd, 2014 at 11:40 AM

Howdy all, little help if I could!

I've got a '69 beetle with 2" narrowed beam, and want to put on some BBS RS' running a 5x114.3 PCD set up. Now I know they'll fit under the guards fine, I just wanted to check what brake components I would be able to use!

Would something such as this be everything I need?

As in just a blank rotor set up? And drill the new PCD myself or am I another level of special? I'm rubbish with brake stuff!

Cheers,

Ollie

Hi

You just need blank rotors, then get a machine shop to drill & fit studs to them, unless you can buy some already done. You will need to make sure the centre bore on the wheels is correct for your rotors, if not its not hard to machine it to suit

You could run them with your existing callipers etc.

PS those wheels will look sick

Buy GENUINE rotors

as they will be thicker in the section where you need to have drilled for the new stud pattern

Those discs only have webbing in 4 places so they won't be any good for your 5 bolt wheels.

You need to get a blank rotor with that webbing thickness across the whole disc mounting face. Then you'll be OK.

as above but the webbing is on the inside so the ones you need flat with no webbing

So VW54 where do you buy these genuine rotors from?
