Video Description

View our complete selection of air-cooled VW parts on the JBugs website: http://www.jbugs.com/ Since we installed an EMPI premium disc brake on the front of our Super Beetle, we didn’t want the rear to feel neglected so we decided to install a corresponding premium disc brake kit on the rear. We also install stainless steel braided brake hoses for a complete performance braking system. We also go over a common issue that can come up when installing a rear disc brake kit, so watch and learn!
