Subject:Improved front brakes?
From:Anthony Polson
Date:Mon, 22 Nov 2004 19:47:42 +0000

I am in the UK and own two Vanagons.  One is a 1995 South African VW
Caravelle with a 2.6 liter Audi-derived 5-cylinder motor and the larger
front brakes, the other a 1985 German-made Vanagon Camper with standrad
front brakes.

The South African brakes are definitely better than those on the German
Vanagon.  They are only slightly more powerful but suffer far less from
brake fade on long descents.

However, I am looking for a front brake setup that is significantly more
powerful.  I wondered if anyone in the USA sells front brake kits for the
Vanagon that offer more stopping power?

TIA,

Tony
