1968-1969 CSP Swing Axle Rear Disc Brake Kit 5x205 Lug Pattern German
Convert your 1968–1969 Volkswagen from drums to discs with this CSP German-engineered swing axle rear disc brake conversion kit — a true bolt-on package built for performance and lasting stopping power.
Upgrading the rear brakes on your Beetle, Karmann Ghia, or Type 3 from drum to disc is one of the most meaningful performance improvements you can make — and the CSP rear disc brake conversion kit makes it a true bolt-on installation. No fabrication, no compromise, no guesswork. Heavy-duty forged caliper mounting brackets, loaded calipers, 5/205 rotors, and all installation hardware are included in one complete German-engineered package.
This CSP kit is built in Germany to performance standards that set it apart from generic conversion kits. The 5/205 lug pattern rotor delivers zero effect on wheel offset and correct fitment for the swing axle rear suspension. Note that converting to this kit requires changing your wheel rims from 4/130 to the 5/205 lug pattern — wheels are not included. This kit will not work with 14-inch wheel rims.
This kit requires a larger bore master cylinder.

Because Details Matter:
Drum brakes on a Beetle, Ghia, or Type 3 were adequate for their time — but disc brakes are where performance and safety meet on a car you drive hard or show seriously. The CSP rear disc brake conversion kit is the German-engineered solution that installs correctly, performs reliably, and gives your swing axle VW the stopping power it deserves. Do the front at the same time and do it right.
