porsche brakes

[KUN@]

hi,

I`m looking for any information about installing porsche disk brakes in superbeetle (1303 74`). Please help.

Thanks!

Porsche has used many different brakes over the years. Regardless of the type you want, adapters for both the caliper and the rotors would have to be fabricated($).

Since the Super uses the coil-over-strut design, I would attempt to adapt Porsche 964 ('90-'94 911) front struts (which have excellent Brembo 4-piston calipers) and 911 front rotors and hubs.

Of course your front end would then have the Porsche 5-bolt wheel pattern.

Either way, it'll involve machine work and a significant outlay of cash.

I intend to do this too somewhere down the road, so when you're done I'd be curious to hear how it goes for you.

Heh, cool, a link to my site.
Anyway, the 944 front stuff is a bolt on installation for your 1303. Contact Superman on the superbeetle forum for more info.
