Volks conversions disc brake kit

Has any one used the Sherman volksconversions kombi rear disc brake kit? If so how was it?

i am also interested in this and did it change the offsets?

i spoke to Mr Sharman a few weks ago and he said that they increase the track by 25mm, I dont know if this is total increase but I think it might be each side.

CSP do disc conversions that have zero offset so they dont increase the track. Check out there ads in Volksworld
Contact Roy at Classic VW (pacific) in QLD as he is going to be bringing there stuff in.

Cheers
Dave

I have the volksconversion disk brake kit (beetle version but i think they are very similar). The offset was the same as the beetle but dunno about the kombi.
Was very impressed by the quality of the kit and johns service, they were easy to fit. A little bit of mucking around to get the handbrake cable adjusted but nothing to dramatic.
