Volkswagen Beetle Disc Brake Kit in US

A complete disc brake kit for the Volkswagen Beetle is the most efficient way to perform a full axle disc brake service on your Beetle. The friction components, rotor surface finish, pad compound, and caliper hardware on the Volkswagen Beetle all function as an integrated system. Sourcing each element separately for the Beetle introduces compatibility variables that manifest as brake noise, vibration, or inconsistent pedal feel in the first months of service on your Volkswagen Beetle.

What Is Included in the Volkswagen Beetle Disc Brake Kit

The kit for your Volkswagen Beetle includes front or rear disc brake rotors at OEM or performance specification for the Beetle, brake pads in ceramic or semi-metallic formulation compound-matched to the Volkswagen Beetle rotor specification, a caliper hardware kit with slide pins, pin boots, and anti-rattle clips for correct caliper float on the Beetle, brake lubricant for correct caliper pin and shim installation on your Volkswagen Beetle, and rotor mounting hardware where required by the Volkswagen Beetle application.

Three Kit Levels for the Volkswagen Beetle

OEM Replacement Disc Brake Kit for the Volkswagen Beetle

Restores factory braking performance exactly on your Volkswagen Beetle, the correct specification for everyday commuting and family use of the Beetle in American conditions.

Antirust Coated Disc Brake Kit for the Volkswagen Beetle

The most practical choice for American Volkswagen Beetle drivers. Zinc-coated or e-coated rotor surfaces on the Beetle resist the rust that plain rotors develop within days of road salt exposure on your Volkswagen Beetle, maintaining consistent friction performance through multiple winter seasons.

Performance Disc Brake Kit for the Volkswagen Beetle

Uses cross-drilled and slotted rotors with high-performance pads for Volkswagen Beetle drivers who tow, drive mountain roads, or generate sustained braking temperatures beyond what factory-spec rotors manage effectively on the Beetle.

Why Correct Hardware Is as Important as the Friction Components on the Volkswagen Beetle

Caliper slide pins, pin boots, and anti-rattle clips on the Volkswagen Beetle are the most commonly overlooked components in a brake service and the most common cause of brake noise complaints after a pad change on the Beetle. Sticking slide pins on your Volkswagen Beetle prevent the caliper from floating freely, causing the outer pad to wear faster than the inner. Every GeoBrakes disc brake kit for the Beetle includes fresh hardware as a standard component.

Signs the Disc Brake Kit on Your Volkswagen Beetle Is Due

• Vibration or pulsation through the Beetle brake pedal during stops
• Squealing or grinding from the Volkswagen Beetle brake corners indicating worn pads and damaged rotors
• Beetle rotor surfaces scored, grooved, or below minimum thickness specification
• Volkswagen Beetle pulling to one side under braking
• Brake warning light illuminated on your Beetle dashboard

Why GeoBrakes for the Volkswagen Beetle Disc Brake Kit

Our disc brake kit range for the Volkswagen Beetle is built with coated rotor options at every kit level to address road salt corrosion that shortens rotor life on most American Beetle applications. As an authorized retailer of Cardone, EBC, Brembo, Raybestos, and Akebono, every kit for the Volkswagen Beetle ships with full manufacturer warranty coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions - Volkswagen Beetle Disc Brake Kits

Should I buy a front kit, rear kit, or both for my Volkswagen Beetle?

Front brakes on the Volkswagen Beetle handle 60 to 70 percent of braking force and wear faster than the rear. If only one axle on your Beetle is due for service, buy that kit. If both axles on the Volkswagen Beetle need service simultaneously, combining them in one order above $99 qualifies for free US-wide delivery.

What rotor type should I choose for my Volkswagen Beetle in American conditions?

For everyday commuting on your Volkswagen Beetle, an antirust coated OEM kit is the most practical choice, delivering factory-level performance while resisting the corrosion plain rotors develop rapidly on the Beetle in road salt conditions. For towing or performance driving with your Volkswagen Beetle, a drilled-and-slotted performance kit provides improved heat management.

How long do disc brake kits last on a Volkswagen Beetle?

Under normal American driving, a quality disc brake kit on the Volkswagen Beetle typically lasts 50,000 to 70,000 kilometres. Antirust coated kits tend to last longer on the Beetle because corrosion is a major cause of early rotor replacement on American Volkswagen Beetle vehicles.
