I know that I can use Golf GTI 1 or 2 rear disc's for this conversion but are there any other modifications that need to be done?

Handbrake cables as well, it is then a bolt on, BTW the disk used in the rear of the beetle is a solid Golf 1 front disk.

rui's kit is good. got it.
car stops very quick. I bought calipers from volkspares, disks from goldwagen, brake pads, bearings, bolts etc from a spare shop in booysens. my only problem was that i bought the wrong size bearings, and that the handbrake cable had to be shortend cause I have a shortend chassis. otherewise all went sweet.
