im looking to get better breaks for the back of my buggy and was wondering what would be the best way to go?

what kind of tortion are you running

irs

The best way to go depends on your wallet. You can spend 200 or you can spend 2,000.

I built my own rear disc setup, and later did the front disc as well.I use Toyota Corolla calipers all around and I love my stopping power. Here is where I got information for my brakes,,,Eric Debord was a big help also.

ok thanks for the help im going to look into the 280z's

Another great cheap way is the Porsche 914 Rear brake rotor. It has the same bolt pattern as the 4 lug VW and does not need re-drilled. The center for it can use a machined down VW drum.

i also heard that there is a chevy caliper u can get from advanced auto for $14 but do not know the year they say all u got to do is double up pads and it will work and fab your own mounting bracket any one know the year of the truk it was on

i used toyota front4x4 puckup 4 piston on mine year85 i think work great fab my mounts 2inch angle about 60 bucks

drive it like you know how too fix it

There several out there you can use,depends on you fab skills,Ive ran 4 piston volvo,chevy metric,vw bus and alot of people run the nissan sentra calipre.Tim at southern buggys in london ky. has a willwood knock off that is top notch and is easy to mount

jason (RIDGERUNNER) gave me a set up a month or two ago you have to make your own bracket machine your stock vw hub down and drill the holes to line up to the 4 bolt vw pattern but what he gave me as far as a set up goes is 03 saturn kia calipers and pads and 93-94 jeep cherokee rear rotors or 93-94 s-10 he was not sure but i think the s-10 had rear drums those years but the jeep had disc i could be wrong but thats what i have i have only had 1 ride on them but they work allot better than those drums

what all will need to be done for the wilwood callipers to be mounted

What's a saturn kia? Saturn's american, Kia is Asian. Both are manufacturers, not models.

Sorry, couldnt resist. I'm sure you just forgot the "or" in between.

I use front nissan sentra calipers their about $40 bucks a piece from auto zone(with a core)if you could find some in a junkyard and use those as a core.You can buy the discs for about $30 to $40 bucks a piece make sure you torque them to 250 ft# or better or you`ll strip the splines right out and you will have no worries about brakes failing.

sorry i went by what it said on the paper and never owned a saturn or kia and deffinetly are not familiar with either but it is one or the other with jeep cherokee rear rotors in the mid 90's
