Rear 5x130 & 5x4.75 Bolt-On Disc Brake Kit Without Parking Brake

  • Bolt-on installation
  • No parking brake provisions
  • Porsche 5x130 & Chevy 5x4.75 lug patterns
  • Fits 1968 and later swing axle & IRS rear axles

This disc brake kit will give your classic VW the stopping power of modern brake technology. The disc brake kit includes double drilled 5x130 & 5x4.75 brake rotors, calipers, pads, mounting hardware, gaskets and instructions. You can choose from stamped steel brake caliper brackets or heavy-duty cast steel brackets to mount the calipers to the axle housing. We recommend installing a large bore master cylinder when installing rear disc brakes because of the distance from the master cylinder and the larger diameter of the brake pistons in the calipers versus wheel cylinders.

  • Brake calipers & pads
  • Mounting hardware & instructions

Installation Notes

  • All brake parts must be thoroughly cleaned, and disc brake grease must be used on all brake pad contact surfaces to prevent squeaking and vibration
  • 15" or larger wheels must be used with this disc brake kit; 14" wheels cannot be used
  • A large bore master cylinder is recommended if converting to rear disc brakes

For easier brake bleeding, consider adding quick bleeder valves to your order.

Our Expert's Take:

Rear Disc Brakes are the perfect complement to front disc brakes for those looking for the ultimate in stopping power for their VW. As this kit doesn't have a parking brake it is more intended for off road vehicles but can be used on street cars where local laws allow, or other parking brake provisions are made. We recommend using a large bore master cylinder whenever installing rear disc brakes, regardless of whether or not you have front disc brakes.
