Ce kit est destiné aux Vanagon de 1986 à 1991. Vous cherchez un kit pour les Bus de 1973 à 1979 ou les Vanagon de 1980 à 1985 ? Cliquez ici.

Nous avons retroussé nos manches, mis notre casquette d'ingénieur mécanicien et résolu une fois pour toutes le problème des freins médiocres des fourgonnettes VW. Nos freins avant plus grands pour toutes les Vanagon sont conçus de A à Z avec une ingénierie rigoureuse. Le système de freins avant à disque GoWesty Bigger Brake est le meilleur* du marché pour les fourgonnettes VW. Il est abordable, simple, fiable et très efficace.

Compatible avec :
• Vanagon 2 roues motrices de 1986 à 1991 - Moyeux, roulements et accessoires de roue requis.*
• Vanagon Syncro 4 roues motrices de 1986 à 1991 - Aucune pièce supplémentaire requise.

*Ce système de freins nécessite des pièces supplémentaires pour être utilisé sur toutes les Vanagon 2 roues motrices de 1986 à 1991. Si vous n'avez pas actuellement un système de freins plus grands installé, vous aurez également besoin de notre Kit de conversion de moyeu, d'un Kit de roulement de roue avant et de dix (10) écrous de roue (contrairement aux boulons de roue que vous utilisez actuellement). Vous pouvez trouver ces écrous ici.

Les caractéristiques en un coup d'œil :
• Puissance de freinage améliorée grâce à une absorption d'énergie supérieure
• Diminution considérable de la perte d'efficacité des freins
• Meilleure sensation de pédale
• Parfaitement adapté au système hydraulique et d'assistance au freinage sous vide d'origine
• Performances parfaitement associées aux tambours arrière d'origine ou à notre Kit de freins à disque arrière
• Meilleures performances, meilleure disponibilité à long terme et meilleur rapport qualité-prix

Le kit comprend :
• (2) Étriers monopiston et supports conçus sur mesure
• (2) Disques ventilés de 285 mm (rainurés & plaqués)
• (2) Durites de frein tressées en acier inoxydable
• (1) Jeu de plaquettes de frein semi-métalliques
• (1) Matériel d'installation

Ne vous laissez pas tromper par des calculs de comparaison incomplets et des pièces de frein brillantes. Un meilleur freinage repose avant tout sur l'absorption d'énergie, et non sur la puissance de freinage (force). Même les freins d'origine peuvent bloquer les roues si vous appuyez suffisamment fort sur la pédale dans les bonnes conditions. Ce dont vous avez vraiment besoin de vos freins, c'est de ralentir votre véhicule rapidement de manière contrôlée. Pour cela, vous avez besoin de disques de frein grands et lourds (✓) qui peuvent absorber beaucoup de chaleur (✓) et qui sont ventilés pour évacuer la chaleur (✓). Un étrier monopiston et un disque de frein ventilé plus grand feront le travail aussi fiablement que n'importe quel étrier de frein en aluminium brillant de "voiture de course de rue" à plusieurs pistons. Un grand piston par étrier signifie moins de pièces d'usure et de risques de fuite, avec des performances fiables et constantes. C'est précisément pour cette raison que presque tous les constructeurs livrent leurs véhicules de cette façon. Lorsqu'il s'agit de freins, la mission est de les rendre grands et de les garder simples. Mais, si vous tenez absolument à ce côté clinquant, allez-y et peignez ces étriers à la bombe. Une bombe de peinture vous coûtera bien moins cher qu'un ensemble d'étriers en aluminium inutilement fantaisie à des millions de pistons !

Bigger Brakes Greater Stopping Power

DIY Install on the van a few weeks ago and I'm happy with the results. I've got a good pedal with more powerful, smooth, straight and confidence inspiring braking.
No shakes, shimmy, rattles, or squeaks. Works great!

Endoriffic!

Wow! I can’t believe the stopping power I’ve got now with these brakes. I knew the stock brakes were insufficient but had no idea just how weak they were until I started bedding the brakes on this kit. Feels like I’m doing endos now when stopping. Very worthwhile investment for driving safety. Highly recommend.

Nice upgrade, not too difficult to install.

I've been running the brakes for a while now and am happy with the performance. More confidence when stopping.

works very well as long as ...

These are nice quality brakes but they did nothing to improve pedal feel on their own. With an enhanced brake booster (BMW), these brakes are amazing and make the van feel much safer and responsive to braking.

Just installed - missing screws

Just installed the new brakes. The kit was missing the 2-screws that hold the rotor on. Will have to make do. Looking forward to testing these out.

Hi Reg, we're bummed to hear your kit arrived without the screws. We are happy to mail you a pair if you haven't already found suitable fasteners locally. Please email support@gowesty.com if you would like replacements mailed out right away. Cheers!

Common sense error

I live in Canada. I haved ordered parts and upgrades from Go Westy many times for my 86 syncro that I have owned for 30 years. Ordering into Canada is expensive when considering exchange, shipping, tax, duty, etc. So I try to take advantage of sale items. The sale on "bigger brakes" I chose to take advantage of. I ordered "bigger brakes" for syncro, and dust pads for 2wd. That's it. I wish that the Go Westy crew would have picked up on this error and a quick call or email to confirm my request. But the product was shipped as is. Now, I have to re-order the right dust covers. Which means paying another shipping charge etc. If I choose to return the parts in error, the costs to do so will put me financially at a break even point. So much for saving a buck. We all make mistakes, I just wish that Go Westy would make a small effort to avoid a second error as it is the customer winds up taking the full hit. I am sure the product will be fine, but have yet to install. 1 star is for the shipping issue.

Hi there Paul, for what it is worth, we keep our eyes peeled for potential order errors such as this. We catch them when we can, but many times folks place orders for multiple vehicles. This is especially true for orders we receive from Canada, where folks try to save on shipping by combining orders for local friends into a single shipment. Give we process in excess of 300 orders per day, we simply don't have the resources to double check every order and delay shipments to folks just in case they ordered the incorrect parts. If we see clear outliers we might make a call or send an email, but we typically assume that the customer has checked their own order for accuracy. That said, we truly appreciate your business, and as a gesture of our appreciation I have just sent you an e-Gift Card for the amount of shipping to get the correct 4WD Dust Shield set delivered to you. We look forward to doing our very best to support your van ownership in the future. All the best, GoWesty.

Bigger Brakes Finally

Extremely easy conversion. Everything bolted right up and fit perfectly. Then there is the stopping power. I definitely do not need to push as hard as I used to. Great product.

Big brake roter wriggle

FIrst time down a long pass going very easy on the brakes rotors began to warp. Van has less than 2000 miles since install. Most of my driving is long flat intrastate highways. Kit installed by Peace Vans in in Seattle. They do an excellent job. Suspect GW skimped on quality and used reworked rotors. Tough to prove...also tough to ignore.

Hi Craig, sorry to hear you are having trouble with your brake kit. Have you taken it back to PV for an inspection? We have not cut any corners on the components and have had excellent long-term performance with them over the years. We are eager to get to the bottom of your issue. Let us know what the status is, will you?

Great quality!

Absolutely love the kit but make sure you buy a bearing kit and the wheel hub conversion!

Transform the ride of your Vanagon

I added these along with the rear disc kit and it is like having a completely different van. If you want to make your van safer you should get these. Especially if you’ve got a subie swap.
