i am going to be going to discs over the winter. i am just wondering if i should just stick to front discs, or go all out and go for all 4? just wonder if all 4 is necessary, and the pros and cons of 2 and/or 4?

2 wheel discs- cheaper, simpler, easy to find, better stopping
4 wheel discs- cooler, more complex(emergency brake), more expensive, even better stopping! wayne

What kind of car? Weight? What wheels and tires?

68 beetle, 1641cc, stock rims for a while, then i am thinking 17s. i am planning on putting a bigger motor in a couple years. but it the car will be staying as is for a while. well besides some minor rust repair, paint, and new interior.

you will be fine with just fronts unless you are planning on some rally racing?

Talk to me and I'll hook you up with some T3 Drums for the rear.

if you can afford 4 wheel discs, the more stopping power the better! also, less hassle and maintenance over the years.
