At a shop that I am part owner of, we upgrade braking systems all the time, we put wilwoods or SSBC or reproduction calipers on early Mustangs, Camaros and Stingrays.
We also Fix botched home installs of conversion kits, and take off bad conversion kits and go back to stock for many cars. This is one reason why I am so verbal about this.
-- I think we have a time delay here. From SPF in PE, how long does it take to get a car on the street>?
We are the leading edge of probably even discussing this. How many cars have shipped and are in a shop awaiting finishing before the owner gets to drive them, and for how long>?
--OK, back to business. I will post photos tonight and list them. --off to work.

Well I got the calipers off the hub, examined them and put them back.
The calipers are marked with PN# GU-9808 on the drivers side. They have some odd design characteristics. Wilwood design made them look like their 4 pot caliper from the outside by having the side that faces the wheel look like the side of a Dynalite 4, the wilwood logo is on a 4.5" long piece of metal housing a 3" long brake pad that effective pad size is 2.5"/1.25".
The mounting holes on the caliper itself , mount to a 4mm thick steel sub plate, that bolts to the aluminum hub carrier. For pretty much any other caliper to go on here that sub plate would need to be swapped, this is a common thing with disc brake swap kits, so there are ways to do this effectively.
The Rotor is .810 thick, vented and is over 11" and looks to be made of quality material and well finished.
The hub has 4 bolt holes on it, so theoretically, you could have a Disc Brake caliper and a parking brake caliper. It would be nice to have them in the same unit, but that may be an issue.
The pads they are fitted with are the ww D340 pad.

--this is listed as the 1998 to 2004 beetle pad amongst others....
I am going to stop here for a while and discuss with some folks offline and come back with some actual ideas.
