Bllet aluminum hubs and steel brackets for a regular BJ drum spindle. I will modify the brackets so that they fit a 1302/1303 if you like. This setup will not fit dropped spindles. It uses MK3 vr6 front rotors, and MK3 vr6 front calipers (or mk4 1.8T front calipers). They are machined for 5-100mm. Although not pictured, the hubs will include press in M12x1.5 studs, and all the required hardware for installation.. Completely bolt-on, using standard beetle bearings and seals. Includes 2 hbubs, 2 caliper bracket, all the required hardware. Does NOT include the caliper and rotor, they are just for illustration purposes.

Flat,

What are the size of those puppies.. looks like a nice kit. Any idea on how brake bias is effected.

I am focusing on my track car but looks like a nice option for my vert in the future.. to many head aches from fitting the 944 stuff. Would seem to work nice with some type III drums..

PS also got my package, thanks everything looks wonderful

They rotors are 288x25mm. The calipers have 58mm (if I remember correctly) pistons. If you have rear drums or a regular bugpack/empi/cb rear disk kit, then I'd recommend a 944 MC. The stepped MC will keep the pedal nice and tall. T3 rear brakes would also keep the balance slightly biased to the front (which is safer on lockup).

Glad you got the parts (finally :))
