This is a disc brake kit with new ball joint spindles for VW Volkswagen Standard Beetle 1966-1977 and Karmann Ghia (not Super Beetle). Get rid of those dinosaur front drum brakes and upgrade to the stopping power of disc brakes. Disc brakes have superior braking power over drums and since 70% of your braking is the front, the difference becomes night and day. This kit will convert your front drum brakes to disc brakes. It includes 2 new brake rotors, 2 new calipers with pads, 2 OEM disc brake spindles and caliper mounting hardware. It is for 4 bolt wheel pattern (4 on 130 late model bug). Some (1966- to mid 1968) cars require 2 late model tie rod ends with 19mm tie rod end nuts instead of 17mm and late model inner wheel bearings and grease seals. Backing plates are optional. Late model wheel bearings and grease seals are reusable from the original drum brakes or can be purchased new. Old spindle nuts, thrust washers, and grease caps can also be reused .
