I like to use VW or Original Equipment parts whenever possible.
I have:
Front pads- VW- $25 a set (does both sides)
Front calipers (Girling/VW)- $60 each
Rear shoes- Scandanavian- $35 a set
Rear shoes- ATE- $45 a set (this is OE)
Rear wheel cylinders- $12 each (ATE)
Front Rotors- $40 each (VW)
Rear Drums- $50 each (ATE)
On top of all of this you get a 5% List discount when ordering through us
and telling us that you are a list member.

These prices are for 86-91 2wd Vanagons.

Hi all,
Getting ready to do brakes on all four, probably wheel cylinders while I'm
at it.  Any favorites for shoes/pads.  I have stock 14" alloys, nothing
fancy.  How about rotors?
