What's recommended?

• After installing these spindles, replacement parts will be for 1969 and later Beetle applications for reference.
• When installing brakes on these spindles and it is time to adjust the bearing thrust, you need to tighten the bearings until the drum or rotor does not move by hand, then back off 1/4 turn and lock it down. This will ensure that as long as you packed your bearings correctly, lubed the seal correctly, this too will last forever* and failure will almost be non-existent.

FAQ

• What if I want less of a drop that 2 1/2 inches?
  If you are looking to get a precise drop on your current Volkswagen, it's going to be difficult but attainable. Your VW should have original torsion springs inside the beam, these hold the vehicle up. But they have sagged or lost some amount of tension over the years. So trying to do that math and give you exactly what you want visually, will be difficult. Best decision would be to install new torsion leaves to raise the vehicle up, then understand how much you want to drop it. If you need more, then investing in a set of PRObuilt Adjusters, should you have fabrication skills, or maybe an Ultimate Beam if you don't. These two options will give you a more precise adjustment to get the exact ride height you are after.
• I want to add disc brakes to my Volkswagen, will your Gen 1 or GEN 2 set of BAD Series Disc Brakes fit them?
  Yes. Our BAD Series Disc Brakes fit all DRUM Drop Spindles and do NOT fit ANY drop DISC spindles. Sounds weird, but other vendors build spindles that incorporate the caliper mounts in them. We build them so that the caliper bracket bolts onto the spindle using the backing plate mounts. It allows for versatility in your build. Drum Brakes, two piston brakes or four piston brakes. You choose, not us.
