Upgrade your classic Volkswagen’s stopping power without sacrificing the iconic look of early-style wheels. Originally engineered for the EMPI "Buggy in a Box" program, this Upgraded Rear Disc Brake Kit is the ultimate bolt-on solution for street performance and off-road reliability.

This kit features a specialized 1-piece rotor design with the early 5x205 bolt pattern, eliminating the need for clunky adapters or multi-piece hubs. The "Zero Off-Set" engineering ensures your track width remains factory-spec, keeping your tires tucked perfectly under the fenders—an essential detail for high-end "nothing to hide" builds where fitment and stance are everything.

Why This is the Ultimate Brake Upgrade:

  • Zero Off-Set Design: Maintains factory wheel positioning. No spacers or adapters required, ensuring your 5x205 wheels sit exactly where they belong.

  • Modern Stopping Power: Replaces fading, heavy drums with firm, responsive disc brakes that dissipate heat efficiently—ideal for modern traffic or steep off-road descents.

  • Integrated E-Brake: Unlike many racing kits, this version includes a fully functional emergency brake setup, making it 100% street-legal and practical for daily use.

  • Simplified Bolt-On Installation: The 1-piece rotor and cast brackets eliminate "extra parts," reducing potential failure points and simplifying maintenance.


Installation Guide: Step-by-Step

Note: This kit requires the use of 15-inch wheels to clear the calipers. A professional brake bleed is mandatory after installation.

  1. Preparation: Secure the vehicle on jack stands and remove the rear wheels and factory brake drums.

  2. Clear the Spindle: Remove the old drum backing plate, shoes, and wheel cylinders. Clean the bearing carrier surface thoroughly.

  3. Mount the Bracket: Install the heavy-duty cast mounting brackets onto the axle flange using the provided gaskets and hardware. Ensure the caliper mounting ears are positioned toward the rear.

  4. Install the Rotor: Slide the 1-piece 5x205 rotor onto the splined axle shaft. Secure it with your factory axle nut (ensure proper torque to seat the bearing).

  5. Caliper & Pads: Install the brake pads into the calipers and bolt the calipers to the mounting brackets.

  6. Plumbing: Replace your old rubber lines with the included Upgraded Stainless Steel Braided Lines. These offer superior pedal feel by eliminating line expansion.

  7. E-Brake Cables: Route the new e-brake cables through the chassis tubes and connect them to the caliper actuation levers.

  8. Bleed the System: Bleed the brakes starting from the furthest wheel from the master cylinder until the pedal is firm.

Well thought out and easy to install
Color: 2-Pack Black, Color: 2-Pack Black
Definitely organizes and maximizes cabinet space for spice storage. It’s a little rickety. If you are using glass spice jars you will likely need to use the included screws into the cabinet because the double face tape it comes with might not hold up. It might work with the plastic spice containers, but even then it seems like it would not be sturdy enough to hold the weight. The instructions were clear and it installed quickly. If it lasts, it was definitely a value upgrade in my cabinet.

Don't buy the other brands
Color: 2-Pack Black
I'd give these a 10 if I could. I bought another version but returned ii because I didn't think it was very sturdy. These were only $8 more and what a difference. They are a very well made and a lot more sturdy. The extra $8 was a real bargain and well worth it.

Great for short people to see and retrieve spices from upper shelf! Holds a lot of weight easily!
Color: 2-Pack Black
These spice racks were very easy to install in my cabinets. Actually, I have only used the adhesive, and they are holding all of the weight of the spices without any issue! These are remarkably heavy duty. I am short (5"3") and most of the second shelf is not really very useable without a stool. I can pull these out and turn the racks making all of them visible and easy to reach! I have two and I'm seriously considering ordering more! It makes organizing a breeze too!
