EMPI's 5x130 & 5x4.75 Bolt On Cross Drilled and Slotted Rear Disc Brake Kit with parking brake fits 1973 through 1977 Standard Beetles, 1973 through 1979
Super Beetles, 1973 through 1974 Karmann Ghias and 1973 through 1974 Things with IRS transmissions. This disc brake kit will give your classic VW the stopping
power of modern brake technology. The disc brake kit includes silver zinc plated, cross drilled and slotted 5x130 & 5x4.75 brake rotors, calipers, pads,
parking brake cables, mounting hardware, gaskets and instructions. 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.
This kit includes the following:
Silver Zinc Plated, Cross Drilled & Slotted Brake Rotors
5x130 Lug Pattern with 14x1.5 Threads
(5x4.75 Lug Pattern has 12x1.5 Threads)
Cast Caliper Brackets
Brake Calipers & Pads
Mounting Hardware & Instructions

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:
Cross Drilled & Slotted Rear Disc Brakes are the perfect complement to cross drilled & slotted front disc brakes for those looking for the ultimate in stopping power and performance for their VW. The parking brake equipped rear disc brakes also offer additional stopping power for those that want the extra insurance that disc brakes offer. We recommend using a large bore master cylinder whenever installing rear disc brakes, regardless of whether or not you have front disc brakes
