FYI, I just rebuilt my calipers, put in two new rear wheel cylinders, new jurid brake shoes, new VW dealer front pads, new rotors, new hardware kits front and rear, and new hoses all around,(my drums looked new so did not replace those). I could not believe the diffence in braking power this made on my Westy. I'm looking forward to the rockies next summer to see how they perform there. The Cabot Trail and Newfoundland were a challenge with my old brakes. Pascal '84 Westy |
