Description
New from AC Industries is this 5 x 205mm lug pattern disc brake kit with lowered spindles. This kit will fit all Bug and Karmann Ghia’s with the 1965 and older Link Pin style front suspensions and will lower the car approximately 2.5″ and maintain the stock ride quality (see note below). This kit will also work great on fiberglass body buggies and replica cars with the same suspensions where you desire to lower the car.
Kit includes:
• (2) Wide 5 front rotors
• (2) floating calipers
• (1) set of premium semi-metallic brake pads #D391
• (1) pair new lowered disc spindles
• (2) stainless steel DOT brake hoses with 90º fittings
• Bearings and seals*
• Mounting hardware
• Step by step instructions
NOTE: We can install the wheel bearing races for a small additional fee: #IRACE
NOTE: Requires 15″ wheels or larger. This kit will not work with 14″ wheels.
NOTE: All lowered link pin to ball joint type spindles on the market today will move the wheels outward towards the fender of the car by approximately 1″ per-side, making the front end wider. Please consider this before you purchase any brake kit with lowered spindles and plan on this offset with the tires & wheels you will install.
