Here is some advice I got from someone that sells Porsche brake kits for Beetles.....
Stick to original brake pads. Aftermarket brake pads are too hard for a lightweight car like the beetle. I was told that you will achive better braking with the orignals.
You have serveral MC choices....stock, Kerscher (I think it is a Daimler one) 944 with brake balancer for the rear and early 911 which was mentioned in this forum already.
The only advantage to go with the late style hub is that the disk mounts from the front and not from the back. If the internals of the hub are identical to the pre 87 hub then you can do the machining as outlined in my article. (Sandeep...those pics in my article need to re-uploaded. You can hardly read the measurements. Will send you the pics tomorrow).
The machining outlined will compensate somewhat fir the track increase in the front. The inner bearing will be a stock VW one and the outer the Porsche 944 bearing with a bearing spacer that needs to be machined. Get cross drilled rotors with original pads.....I would be surprised if you wear those off anyways with the T3 even with your HP numbers in a couple of years.
