Find the correct backing plates for your VW Brakes. Front Backing Plates are different than Rear Backing Plates. Early beetle front backing plates also have different left & right sides, while 1958-on front backing plates are interchangeable between left & right sides. Wheel cylinder positions change between years, and position on the vehicle (front or back). Super Beetles are the only beetles with 4 mounting holes on front backing plates. Super Beetles also share the same rear end as standard beetles, so the rear backing plates will be the same between both cars.
