where are these bolt ons available from if possible, i am running a porsche stud pattern if that will help.

You can improve things greatly by installing better pads up front (skim the discs, too) and making sure the rear drums are in proper adjustment - MOST
CARS' ARE NOT. The next step is 'Bolt-on' upgrades such as using the Type 3's larger rear drums and front callipers (over your non-vented Beetle
front discs) which is what many of us have had over the years on Beetles used for circuit sprints etc. Still not enough? Then fit better-quality brake
linings in the rear drums (plus machine them) - that will cost you another $100 or so and works really well. Rear discs will cost you around $1000. I
installed vented front discs (and rear solid discs) to my Beetle as part of a kit I have been developing for a while now

and the bill was more than double that and although they work sensaish, they are almost "overkill" engineering for the street

you can just fit a brake boaster as well as better pads
