No Parking Brake Provisions

Blank Brake Rotors

Fits 1968 and later Swing Axle & IRS Rear Axles

EMPI's Blank Bolt On Rear Disc Brake Kit without parking brake fits Swing Axle equipped 1968 Beetles, Karmann Ghias & Type 3s as well as IRS equipped 1968 through 1977 Standard Beetles, 1971 through 1979 Super Beetles, 1968 through 1974 Karmann Ghias and 1968 through 1973 Type 3 models. This disc brake kit will give your classic VW the stopping power of modern brake technology. The disc brake kit includes blank 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. The blank disc brake rotors must be drilled out for the lug pattern of your choice.

This kit includes the following:

Blank Brake Rotors
Stamped or Cast Caliper Brackets
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 or brake squeak and vibration may occur.

15" or larger wheels must be used with the disc brake kit. 14" wheels cannot be used.

A large bore master cylinder is recommended if converting to rear disc brakes.

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.
