Calipers touching rotors.

What is your opinion of the vdubcustoms work on your hubs? I see you had problems with the caliper but that is obviously not part of their work. I am trying to decide between turbo or N/A brakes for my type 3. I called Lanner today and discussed the conversion. He seems confident in his ability to make anything work.

I am very happy with the quality of the work. With the exception of my lack of skill at reassembling the calipers the swap went on without a hitch. The calipers are exactly where they were on the 944 spindles. All the hardware came drilled for safety wire. The best part is that you can always upgrade to larger rotors later since the rotors bolt on to the outside of the hub. All you woud have to do then would be to get some bigger calipers and adapters. I went with the non turbo brakes because of the cost factor. Four caliper rebuild kits only cost me $44, besides they are good enough to stop a 2700 lbs 944. They should stop a 1900 lbs beetle.
