Le kit de conversion vers des freins à disque arrière GoWesty n’est pas un simple assemblage de pièces provenant d’autres véhicules, comme certains kits du marché. Ce système a été correctement conçu, testé et spécialement développé pour s’adapter directement à tout Vanagon, en utilisant uniquement des pièces neuves et sans aucune modification. Pas besoin d’usiner les moyeux ni de bricoler. En plus, vous obtenez un frein de stationnement qui fonctionne vraiment ! Il offre d’ailleurs une puissance de maintien 30 % supérieure à celle du frein à main de votre système de freins à tambour d’origine.

Ce système de freinage prend à peu près le même temps à installer qu’une révision classique des freins arrière du système à tambour existant : environ quatre heures. Cela, si vous parvenez à trouver quelqu’un qui sait travailler sur des freins à tambour ! De nos jours, il n’est pas facile de trouver un mécanicien qui s’y connaît vraiment en matière de freins à tambour. Pour tout dire, ils appartiennent désormais au passé, tout simplement. Non seulement ils sont moins performants pour arrêter votre véhicule, mais ils sont aussi beaucoup plus exigeants à entretenir et à réparer que les freins à disque. Il n’est donc pas étonnant qu’ils aient complètement disparu des années plus tôt.

Le coût initial de ce système est environ deux fois supérieur à celui de toutes les pièces nécessaires pour reconstruire entièrement le système de freins à tambour existant. Cependant, comme les frais d’entretien de notre nouveau système sont nettement inférieurs par la suite, celui-ci finira par être rentabilisé, et même par là-dessus, au fil du temps. D’un point de vue économique, c’est une évidence. En matière de performances, ce serait tout simplement absurde de ne pas passer aux freins à disque !

Compatible avec : Tous les modèles Vanagon de 1980 à 1991 – 2 roues motrices et Syncro

Le kit comprend :
• (2) Supports d’adaptateur de frein à tambour vers frein à disque GoWesty
• (2) Étriers (gauche et droit)
• (2) disques (rainurés et zingués)
• (10) boulons de roue arrière de 56 mm - en option (voir l’onglet « Remarques sur la compatibilité » pour plus de détails)
• (1) jeu de plaquettes de frein
• (2) flexibles en acier inoxydable tressé
• (2) câbles de frein de stationnement
• (2) boucliers anti-poussière en acier inoxydable
• (1) toute la visserie nécessaire et des instructions d’installation détaillées

Caractéristiques en un coup d’œil :
• meilleures performances de freinage
• meilleure sensation au niveau de la pédale
• frein de stationnement amélioré d’environ 30 %
• meilleures performances, meilleure disponibilité des pièces à long terme et meilleur rapport qualité-prix qu’une simple reconstruction du système de freins à tambour existant

Vous avez encore besoin d’être convaincu ?
• le surcoût pour passer à un système de freins à disque sera rentabilisé dès la toute première révision des freins !
• les freins à tambour sont obsolètes. Passez au 21e siècle (ou plutôt, au milieu du 20e siècle) !
• vous aurez du mal à trouver un mécanicien qui sait vraiment travailler sur des freins à tambour et, même si vous en trouvez un...
• vous paierez beaucoup plus cher en main-d’œuvre pour entretenir le système de freins à tambour au fil du temps.
• freins à disque ou freins à tambour : ils sont plus simples, moins chers à entretenir, offrent un meilleur freinage et un meilleur frein de stationnement !

Nécessite des jantes de 15 pouces ou plus

"I upgraded to rear disc brakes, but I'm not getting the stopping power I anticipated. I'm already running the GoWesty big front brake kit, but the overall braking performance feels exactly the same as before

Hi Kwangsoo, thank you for sharing your experience. We recommend ensuring the hydraulic system is correctly bled and the pads & rotors are fully bedded in to optimize your braking performance. Also, keep in mind that the majority of your stopping power comes from the front, and the biggest advantage of rear disc brakes comes in the form of energy absorption and heat dissipation. Rear disc brakes are so much better at this than drum brakes. Plus, long-term maintenance is so much easier. Give the product some time, and we're confident you will be happy!

So sexy!! And work without adjusting them every month 😭

Love this disc kit for the Vanagon. Very easy to install. And I’ll never miss having to adjust the drums ever again. Plus this looks wayyyy better behind my Ronals.

3 years after install

This is one of the best upgrades to my van. The old parking brake barley held on a slope when I pulled the handle super hard. Now it only takes a gentle pull and a few clicks to set it. No issues on a steep incline. Installation went well and was pretty straightforward. A year or 2 later I could sense a hang up in the cable when setting the brake. It got worse, so at 3 years after install, I went under to inspect. What I found was the cable near the caliper was rusted and worn a bit due to water intrusion and friction due to poor alignment of cable. Just like the old throttle cables that failed, so will this brake cable. Water can enter either end because neither are sealed! Those ends should absolutely be sealed! Get enough water trapped in the lower section of the cable and it could freeze which means your parking brake is locked up. This is a design problem that should have been solved before GW marketed this kit. Best to carry a spare if it’s even available.

Quality control and replacement needed

The disc I received has filled pockets with weld and reground surface. This disc also had finger prints indicating this may have been returned. The caliper carrier guide pins also are unacceptable. One pin with correct clear paste and the other pin is loaded with the wrong grease and rust inside. The pin is pitted and corrosion on the surface. Video is available

Worthwhile upgrade

Installation is pretty much straightforward and i am happy to jettison the rusty rear drum brakes from my van. My only complaint, and it's rather minor, is that one side has a 10mm bleeder while the other has an 11mm.

Hey there Chris! You look happy in the pic. Love it! Both bleeders should be the same size, so we're looking in that. Thanks for the heads up. Cheers, Taylor

VANAGON REAR DISC BRAKE KIT

Great kit! Certainly a big upgrade from trying to adjust less than stellar OEM drum and parking brakes. The install takes about four hours as advertised. The instructions aren't that good and hopefully GoWesty adds comments I have submitted.

Poorly packaged for shipping

Have yet to install this kit but it seems well put together. Was disappointed to see the calipers and brackets, hardware and dust shields poorly packed.

Relatively Easy to install, But lessons learned along the way.

I have the kit installed. They work pretty well. Some difficulty with installing the brake pads with the butterfly spring. This is where I learned a thing or two. You need to depress that spring to insert the brake pads into their cradles. Be sure top grease the cradle as you go. I like the emergency brake set up. Very responsive and clean. If you’re thinking about new rear brakes this is a good system.

Rear disc kit

Bought as replacement for my van's tired, old, rear drums. The kit was installed by my local mechanic and works great....the disc breaks make a big difference

I hate drum brakes

Easy to install, no more adjusting shoes. Brake pedal feels good and parking brake holds well.

Upgrade

This was a huge upgrade. I decided not to rebuild the original drum brakes and upgrade to the disc brakes. I was primarily motivated to do this so it would make future servicing easier. Definitely have improved braking power. Would recommend.

Night and Day difference

Have a Westy with a Subaru conversion I did. First thing I noticed when driving it was the rear brakes did not provide the stopping power to match the additional HP/Torque. This kit did the trick in aces. Easy to install too. I just had to adjust the tension on the parking brake cable a few times after driving a while.

easy install

easy install and better braking

Rock solid

This kit is perfectly designed. Everything is very plug-and play, install was a breeze and exactly as the PDF indicated. Stopping power is exponentially increased as is efficiency. I am extremely pleased and I know that these will conserve my front discs as well due to the enhanced breaking power and speed. Highly recommend this kit! Other kids require machining and additional labor, which is completely unnecessary with this kit. Thanks again for an outstanding product.

Surpasses My Expectations Every Time

GoWesty has consistently surpassed my expectations. Their delivery is incredibly fast, which is especially appreciated when I'm in the middle of repairs and realize I'm missing a part to finish the project. The speed and reliability of their shipping have saved me more times than I can count. Moreover, Clarence is an absolute gem. His dedication and commitment to ensuring my projects progress smoothly are truly commendable. He goes above and beyond to provide the best support possible, making the entire process much easier and stress-free. Can we hope for better support? I don't think so. GoWesty, you have a loyal customer in me. Congratulations and keep up the excellent work!

Simple bolt on upgrade

I've been wanting to replace the old rear drums for years and finally bought this kit on Black Friday (2023) while on sale. Bolt on upgrades are great and this kit overall was an easy upgrade. Stopping is smooth and the parking brake holds super tight on just a couple clicks. Nice work GW!!
