Beetle Disc Brake Drop Spindle Kit - 1966-79 - ZERO Offset

High quality forged zero offset dropped spindle set for ball joint VW Beetles and Karmann Ghias fitted with front disc brakes. Designed to lower the front suspension approximately 63.5mm (2½”) while maintaining correct steering geometry and original front track width.

Unlike cheaper cast dropped spindles, these premium forged spindles are manufactured using a forging process similar to the original VW components, giving superior strength, dimensional accuracy and durability. The zero offset design keeps the wheels in the original mounting position, avoiding the wider front track commonly associated with many aftermarket dropped spindle kits.

Dropped spindles lower the vehicle by repositioning the wheel spindle higher on the upright rather than shortening the suspension travel. This allows the suspension to retain near standard ride quality and steering characteristics while achieving a lower stance.

These spindles are specifically designed for disc brake equipped ball joint front ends using 2 piston calipers and are ideal for both street and performance applications.
