{"product_id":"front-disc-brake-conversion-kit-w-2-5-drop-spindles","title":"Front Disc Brake Conversion Kit w\/ 2.5\" Drop Spindles","description":"The EMPI VW Disc Brake Kit is a front disc brake conversion kit designed for VW Bug (1954-1965) and Ghia (1955-1965) models. This comprehensive kit replaces your vehicle's original drum brakes with modern disc brakes, offering a significant upgrade in stopping power and a desirable \"Cal-Look\" aesthetic. The included forged drop spindles provide a 2.5-inch suspension drop without the need for additional brackets, simplifying installation.\n\nThis kit includes all necessary components for the conversion: two 5x205\/5x130 disc brake rotors, two brake calipers with pads, two 2.5-inch forged drop spindles, two rubber brake hoses, inner and outer wheel bearings, grease seals, spindle clamp nuts with thrust washers, two grease caps (one with a speedometer cable hole), and a mounting hardware kit. The rotors feature dual bolt patterns for both 5x205 (M12-1.5mm) and 5x130 (M14-1.5mm) wheel applications.\n\nInstallation of this kit requires careful attention to detail, particularly with the brake lines. It is strongly recommended that brake line installation be performed by a trained mechanic to ensure proper length relative to wheel travel and steering angle, as well as to prevent contamination and ensure proper caliper bleeding. Failure to do so can critically impact brake performance and safety.\n\nAn important consideration for fitment is wheel size; this kit requires 15-inch wheels or larger and will not work with 14-inch wheels. While considered a universal part that can fit various applications with modifications, it is essential to verify your specific project's requirements before purchase, as the provided application information is for reference only and not intended for stock vehicle configurations.","brand":"JBugs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52688944955704,"sku":"22-2925","price":646.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/662671831.jpg?v=1784899016","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/front-disc-brake-conversion-kit-w-2-5-drop-spindles","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
