Very nice set-up you got there. :agree:


I keep telling myself that all I need is some single pot 944 calipers but it's so hard to resist the big reds...

The third picture is a little deceiving. I fitted the pads and the rotor is about 1mm above the top of the pads, so I have full pad contact.

Very nice setup. I am envious that yours is built and mine isn't.

I have a few questions for you that will help me get mine done:

1. How did you go about getting VDubCustons to make those caliper brackets?
2. I have access to alot of CAD programs, which format do they use when drawings are required?
3. How much did they cost to have made?

Just send them an e-mail. I had them make my front brake kit for my beetle. It's the 944-S kit featured on their website. Check out thier website and contact them from their. www.vdubcustoms.com

Sandeep,

took a look at mine the other day and i see how the nut on the spindle is held on by very few threads. is yours the same?

could you take a pic of the "face" of the rotor? or this spindle nut? i'm a little worried of it coming off.

later,
pete
