REAR BRAKE DRUMS

Precision Fitment for Every Chassis Rear drums for Volkswagens are unique due to their splined centers which lock onto the axle. We carry the specific hardware needed for various axle and suspension types:

• Bolt Pattern Variety: Choose from the classic "Wide 5" (5x205) for early models and vintage buggy builds, or the standard 4-lug (4x130) for later Beetles and Ghias.

• Axle Compatibility: We stock drums for both Swing Axle and IRS (Independent Rear Suspension) configurations, ensuring the splines and offsets are a perfect match for your specific year and model.

• Off-Road Ready: For Dune Buggies and Sand Rails, our drums are built to endure the harsh conditions of the trail and the dunes, providing a reliable surface for your brake shoes to bite into.

Safety and Quality You Can Trust A fresh rear drum ensures that your brake shoes make full, even contact, which is essential for consistent stopping and a functional emergency brake. Our drums are cast from high-quality materials to resist warping and maximize heat dissipation. Whether you are doing a concourse restoration or prepping a rail for a weekend in the sand, starting with true, high-grade drums is non-negotiable for safety.
