Kerscher rotor, 15 inch wheels.. what caliper?
hello guys,
i want to keep 15 inch wheels on my bug, pref vw 4 stud pattern. im doing a rear disk conversion using a 914 disk and golf rear caliper, but wanted to upgrade my fronts at the same time. ideally i wanted to use the kerscher disk (to keep the vw pattern) with vw disk, or vw drum spindles. i have both to choose from, both ball joint. the question is, what caliper choices do i have to keep 15" wheels? i have heard of people using a rear caliper on the front? would a 944 turbo (4 piston?) rear caliper work ok with the kerscher disk on the front, and would 15" wheels be likely to fit? other calipers iv thought about using are: early 944 fronts, a golf front caliper, 933 rear caliper, a stock vw caliper spaced out, or aftermarket wilwood.. any opinions? regards, mabbo |

The four piston 944 caliper is the same size front and rear, just the piston sizes are smaller on rear. A rear two piston 911 caliper might work, but IMO would go for golf. (since the rear is going to be golf)

i was a little concerned that the golf brakes front and rear would cause the front/rear balance to be out as a golf has all the weight in the front, or would the master cylinder sort this out?

Good point. I suggested the golf in front to keep the brake bias of the "factory matched" set-up. I would check the size of the golf m/c to VW m/c. You could always put a proportional valve in the rear line to get more rear bite.
