#1 Post by Steve Livermore »

Asking if anyone has installed these brakes on their car and what your opinion is ? Installation, problems, performance and value ?

I have the Al Zims front disc conversion which look pretty similar. I have to say its the best mod on my car atm. Very confidence inspiring knowing you have straight stopping power. I did not perform the installation so can't speak to it, but its rather straight forward from what I understand. I have the dual circuit master cylinder with remote reservoir as well, which I recommend for additional safety.

Do the wheels need to be switched to a different size after installing the Jorg disc brakes on the front?

No. The Jorg kit is for pre-1960 VW’s, so we reap the benefits, and it fits drum brake cars. No change in wheels required.
