NQ, a trick Bill may taught me was to put front wheel cylinders from a later bug onto the back for added braking power. They are bigger than the stock rear ones, so you gain some braking power there to match the new front disc system. I did this with my lowered 70 standard bug. I just ordered front wheel cylinders for my 70 bug, and they went right on the back without any prob. Courtney
