Any updates? Will need serious front brakes for my Svx vanagon build. Looking for the best option.


I had GoWesty's BBK on Domo for three years driving on German Autobahns, and 1.5 years in NA.
GoWesty is the way to go. Straight bolt-on, nice feel, very good brakes on a heavy van!

Found these brackets for sale on a German site www.epytec.de
Too many pieces for me to be comfortable with...

...my $.02.

Ok. thanks for your input. Bus Depot & Vanagain (NJ) is close to me for BBK's . Probably will add adjustable bias valve and some burley rear discs and call it done!

No need for bias control with the stated "kits".
