Front Brake Conversions

As horsepower levels increase, so must the car's braking ability. Even with the standard engine, spirited driving can often tax the limits of the original brakes on your car. This can be a dangerous problem if not addressed. And as far as serious driving in a modified car is concerned, you'll soon find yourself easily outdistancing your stopping power. Autotech's brake conversion kits are designed to give your VW the edge in performance driving. Our kits consist of only new parts, not used or remanufactured, to ensure that each conversion is the best available. All brake discs are the highest quality, made in Germany by the original equipment suppliers to Volkswagen.

Note: Mk1 chassis is all Rabbit, Scirocco, Jetta 1, and, in this case, Fox models. Mk2 chassis refers to all Golf 2, Jetta 2, Passat 4-cyl and Corrado G60 models. Mk3 chassis refers to the Golf 3, Jetta 3 and Corrado VR6. Mk4 chassis refers to the 1998-2005 Golf/GTI 4, Jetta 4 and New Beetle. Finally, Mk5 is the new 2006 GTI, Jetta and Rabbit with 2.0T or 2.5L engines.

SPORTTUNING TIP: Cross Drilled & Slotted Rotor Upgrade If you have decided on one of our brake conversions and would like to substitute our SportTuned Cross-Drilled & Slotted Rotors for the standard ones supplied in our kits, no problem! To order, put an 'X' just ahead of the K in the part number, like this: 10.698.040K turns into 10.698.040XK The prices for the "X' kits are just $100 more than standard kits!
