Vanagon Front Disc Brake Kit
BMS 2wd Big Front Brake Kit is a tried and true recipe that we have put through the wringer to ensure it is Burley approved!.
Our kit features 288mm drilled, slotted and vented rotors for maximum cooling efficiency. This kit is large enough for superior stopping power, yet still able to fit under the most popular Vanagon wheels that are being sold today.
The BMS Kit comes fully loaded with all the goodies:
*New hubs w/ bearings, seals, new locknuts (our hubs maintain the stock track width)
*Rotors, vented, crossed drilled and slotted
*New calipers
*High-quality ceramic brake pads
*BMS stainless dust/ventilation shields
*Stainless steel, braided brake hoses that run directly from the caliper to the hard line on the van body. This method eliminates the original 3” curly-Q section of hardline at the caliper.
Our kit uses 2001 and newer Audi parts from models that were sold in the USA. This makes replacement pads, rotors etc. super easy to get for a very long time. This is something you should always consider when making a brake kit choice. These disc brakes hold up exceedingly well and blow away competition sites in safety, hands down.
While most steel and alloy wheels will fit with the BMS front big brake kit, we have not had the occasion to try every wheel that is out there. However, here is a list of wheels that we know will fit for certain:
* 15” ASA ( clone MBZ wheels ) Model 8 wheels sold by Tire Rack
* 15” ASA model 9 wheels
* 15” and 16” Carat wheels
* 16” clone MBZ wheels with correct et offset
* 16″ MBZ CLK wheels
* 16” steel Mobelwagon wheels
* 16” steel wheels with correct et offset, EXCEPT MEFRO
* Method 16” Rally wheels
For those who need to purchase the conical, ball-shaped lug nuts for the commonly-used steel wheels: 14mm x 1.50 Thread Lug Nuts
Lastly, please see our customer’s comparison and installation video on YouTube. That Baldwin Life does an excellent job of explaining things in an easy-to-understand manner that can be appreciated by all! Vanagon Big Brake Kit Comparison – Burley Motorsports vs. Small Car
**This kit requires 1986 or newer spindles.
***This kit does not come with lug nuts because discrepancies can be caused by the large varieties of wheels that are used by the van.
****The BMS brake kit DOES NOT change the track width of your van. But if your current wheel setup requires spacers, then those same spacers will work with this brake kit.
As always, this product is made Burley!

Bangin' Big Brakes! The Burley big brakes are awesome. I bought them to replace the big brake kit I got from Smallcar years ago. The Smallcar brakes were marginally better than stock, but yours are dramatically better.

Fantastic Brakes Just installed the Big Front Disk Brake Kit on our '86 2wd Westy, and what a massive difference. I have been keen to do this upgrade for a while as I felt that the braking in the van was seriously lacking. I'm so pleased to have finally tackled this project. Of all the upgrades we have done, this is the most noticeable and impactful for driving performance. The kit arrived quickly with everything needed for the upgrade. I took the van to my local shop, and they were able to quickly get it installed. I would highly recommend this brake kit. Thanks, Burley

Big Front Brake Kit Installed this kit with a pair of 1987 spindles on my 1984 Westy. I was concerned initially about how the steering effort would increase using power steering type spindles on a non-power steering equipped van but I was pleasantly surprised to find not much effort increase even with 16” wheels. The BMS brake kit install was simple enough. I’ve been driving easy around town to bed in the pads for the last week. Today I did a long mountain decent without the overheating and brake fade experienced previously with the stock brakes. Very pleased.

Great Brakes! I read all the reviews I could find, watched YouTube and typed on the Samba ad nausium. But my new brake kit did not disappoint! These parts are beefy! I recommend this kit to any and all who want to improve their braking power. I go off road on some pretty intense camping expeditions, and I really wanted the best.

Getting the Front Done Now With just over 15K miles on the rear kit, I just pulled the plug on this front end kit. I was impressed at how easy it was to install the rear brakes, and I was glad I was able to do it myself in the comfort of my own garage. Changing out parts is a great hobby between a man and his son. Always heavy as hell, the mailman knows when I get something for my van in the mail. I have unboxed all the pieces to the front end brake kit and they look pristine, as usual. I will get back to update this as soon as I get the new brakes installed. But I already know it will be an improvement.
