Porsche...

Post by Merlin »

's up all?

I'm looking at fitting a Porsche brake setup to my bug.

I'm already running discs front and back: stock '67 up front, and small Golf 2/3 at the back...

Considering that I'm wanting to change the hubs to 5-stud, what's involved in fitting this setup?

Thanks, N.

CSP makes a nice vented and cross-drilled disc kit for front and back and also have a master cylinder for four wheel disc applications.

The problem is that complete disc kits overseas cost muchos deneros...

GermanLook checked during the course of today; thanks. ;)

Will wait for info on the parts, and make a decision. :)

I'm keen on the lighter suspension parts especially, as my pan is being reinforced, and I need to find ways to lighten the car...

Hmmm...got some of those jotted down already, but have added the others. :)

The fuel tank downsizing, and interior are not really possibilities.

Any mods have got to be 'hidden'. I still want the classic bug look.

...about two notches above "Sleeper". :D
