I might have better luck asking on The Samba or some other VW forum, but I checked back through my parts orders and realized that the rear disc brake kit I had chosen was for a 58-67 bug, with mine being a 57. CB performance has a Porsche bolt pattern kit with e-brakes for 800 dollars, everything on cip1 seems prohibitively expensive, and SoCal Imports has a non-e-brake kit for 300 dollars. Are there some crucial differences between the 57 and 58 rear suspension bits that would prevent me from using the 58+ kit? I would prefer to have an e-brake on this car, with my last resort being some form of secondary e-brake that I install separately, or a brake line lock (EMPI or LR or Jamar) for the rear.
