VW 1303 brake upgrade
Discussion
Hello all.
I have a 1975 1303 beetle with drum brakes on 2 bolt struts.
I've managed to find some disc brake spindles (stub axles) but ive yet to get discs and calipers.
My question is, are stock going to be enough or should I go for better discs and calipers?
I've seen drilled and grooves discs and I know that 2 piston Wilwoods are available but is the cost worth the improvement?
The engine is a 1600 with twin weber and a decent sidewinder exhaust so mildly more than stock power. I might upgrade to a 1776 at a later date.
Thoughts?
