Wilwood brake caliper

[Tim]

My bug (1303) will be for racing only (circuit racing, not drag racing). Parking brake and DOT approval are not something to be concerned. What I am considering is unsprung weight, brake efficiency and of course my affordability. Also, lug pattern of pcd 5x114 (4.5") is more preferable because more choice of inexpensive, light weight Japanese made wheels are available here in Hong Kong. According to the information from Wilwood's website, it seems that their products are matching what I am looking for. Porsche 944 units no question are perfect for GL VW but I think are too heavy for racing and they are very very rare here in HK (could be very very expensive). That's why I have the idea of using Wilwood products and want to learn more whether it is worthwhile for the converion.

By the way, are CB or Kerscher rear brake kit lighter than type 1 stock drum? How about compare with a complete Wilwood rear conversion (single Dynalite calipers, solid rotors, aluminium hats) with wheel hubs fabricated from VW stock drums and custom made caliper adaptors?

Thanks
