Wide-five disk brakes | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

Former Member

The CB Performance wide-five disk brakes are now available for all VW configuations - swing axle or IRS, ball-joint or link-pin front end, and stock or dropped front spindles. All have pressed in studs.

The CB units are lighter than SoCal wide-five brake sets and may also be lighter than the German CSP brake sets.

If you want to order them you should also specify which stud size you want, 12mm or 14mm. The 14mm size is best for aftermarket wide-five BRM wheels and both Mangel (steel) and Bivens (aluminum) Porsche 356 replica wheels.
