VW Drop Spindles - 2 1/2" - Ball Joint Disc Brake Front Ends - 4x130 & 5x130 - Pair

EMPI's Ball Joint, Disc Brake Drop Spindles are brand new units, not re-manufactured old cores! CNC machined to exact tolerances. These forged drop spindles feature 1/4" outwards offset so clearance is usually not an issue. The drop spindles are made for 4-lug VW (4x130) and 5-Lug Porsche (5x130) disc brake rotors. These spindles are the first step to a brake system upgrade while giving you the built-in 2 1/2" lower stance just by bolting them on. These drop spindles are made for use with stock shocks. The disc brake drop spindles will fit all Type 1 (Beetle and Karmann Ghia 1966 through 1977) Ball Joint Front Ends. For 1966, 1967 and early 1968 models, 1968.5 and later inner wheel seals, inner wheel bearings and outer tie rod ends must be used.

1966 thru May of 1968 vehicles need to install June of 1968 thru 1977 outer tie rod ends, inner wheel bearings and inner wheel seals.
