This disc brake kit will give your classic VW improved stopping power using disc brakes vs. the stock drum brakes. The disc brake kit includes new 2.5" drop spindles, front rotors, calipers & pads, brake hoses, bearings & seals, mounting hardware and instructions. These drop spindles are made for use with stock shocks. 1966 through May 1968 Beetles and Ghias will need late model outer tie rod ends to use this drop spindle disc brake conversion kit. The later model parts can be found in the additional options drop-down selection above.
