Hi all, I will have my super-duper Street Maniac front and rear brake kits at Valla if anyone wants a look or wishes to buy. Fronts (287x24 vented and
slotted) $1500 with brand new calipers and pads (as pictured) or $1250 no calipers (so you can use second-hand/rebuilt).
Rears 287x15mm slotted ('Stage 2') $1100
I also hope to have some 'Stage 1' rears 260x10 non-slotted there, too - $880. Perfect with standard Beetle front discs.
I will be in the campground at Valla
You wouldn`t happen to have a set of large diameter vented brake assys for a bay Kombi would you?
& i`m also keen on a set of rear discs for the same ??
I too want big ass brakes for my van. Was looking into brakes off a monaro. Big discs and calipers to fit inside a 17" rim. Advantage would be
aftermarket rotors etc are readily available and cheap.
But if you do want to do big brakes for a bay vented and slotted front and rear please with big calipers and big pads!! I want to stop quick from high
speeds without having to push through the floor. LOL
Yeah, i have a pair of Nissan Skyline 4 pot alloy calipers & was looking at the Porsche rotors, so maybe i can work something out with this lot
I did a rear disc conversion on my old Alloy V8 off road buggy years ago & fitted Leyland p76 front discs onto the back of it, i should be able to
sort something similar for the DC
I`ll get my gearbox sorted first tho
VWCOOL< thanks for the PM with your help tho, much appreciated.
& Brennden, i`ll let you know how i get on with the idea i have with the big brakes once it`s sorted.
I looked at the Jap-import Nissan/WRX/RX-7 calipers when developing the big Beetle brakes but I wanted all the parts to be available 'new' and not
be too expensive for rebuild kits and pads. Plus their opposing piston design (size) would have required a wheel track change
