Hello
When I brake hard, the front of the van drops down. Because of this I
believe the front disc brakes provide the lions share of the braking force.
I find the brakes on the Vanagon are lacking particularly given  the size
and weight of the vehicle. This is even more of an issue when travelling at
highway speed with 4-7 passengers!

I know that larger front disc brakes have been made available in the past
from several list vendors. How well do these work?

What about improving the rear brakes?

Gary
