There was a similar post regarding a Type 3

Richard Holzl @ V Force does a Porsche Boxster kit for the front and I think Ford EB for the rear

B 4 u start spending all that money

What car and year model n engine size do u have

U may not need that much stopping power

How about the set up that vwcool designed. There is a thread somewhere on here. They looked like pretty serious upgrade without the outrageous price tag.

also - good luck getting MOST wilwood calipers approved, almost none have dust seals which you will find is one of the req's for rego/approval probably in every state


+1 for the vwcool or v-force options if you need them
