We retrofitted three vans, my cousin a friend and I, using Eurovan rotors,
Jetta/Golf IV rear calipers with the emergency brake system attached and
aluminum caliper adapters that were cut and fitted localy. Probably your
must expensive part will be the new rotors and labor to cut and drill the
adapters, unless you do it yourself, of course.

The calipers are salvage yard sourced, try to get them with the cables and
lines attached, Passat work good too, not sure what year, but you can
Google that.

For the aluminum brackets I went to the local metal works shop and but a
piece of thick aluminum, marked what I needed to have cut and drilled and
went from there. We had the advantage of using a rear suspension arm cut of
a van to test fit everything, and the results are great, at least we like
how the vans stop now, and the emergency brake holds like it should. I hate
drum brakes, I really do.

And the three vans have Mercedes Benz wheels, no spacers, no clearence
problems, and mine has thr big brake hit, so no going back to OE wheels for
me. All the MB wheels have to be drilled for the larger 14mm stud, no big
deal, and you can even get the spare tire from a salvage yard, like I did,
now I have the full set. I use the correct tires for the car that the
wheels came from, using the logic that it's as heavy as my van, reaches
higher speeds and corners way harder than my vehicle ever will.

I still don't understand why asking a single question here gets so many
replies that don't answer your question and try to steer you away from what
you want to do. Good luck with your project modernizing your van, enjoy the
ride.
