This is a rust preventative finish which is ideal as a paint undercoat.

Fitted as is they will corrode eventually going a powder white colour, which is the zinc corroding and is to be expected.

Give your VW Baywindow Bus the perfect stance with these all-new dropped spindles, engineered to lower the front end by 6cm while maintaining factory ride quality and suspension geometry. Designed specifically for 1973 to 1979 Baywindow Buses, these spindles are a direct replacement for your originals, requiring no modification to install.

Ideal for those who want to achieve a lowered look without sacrificing comfort, these spindles allow you to keep your factory suspension travel and ball joint angles within safe limits. Whether you`re running the original 14″ steel wheels or upgrading to aftermarket alloy wheels, these spindles are compatible with both, offering flexibility in your setup.

Due to the design, each spindle increases wheel offset by 10mm, meaning your wheels will sit 10mm further out per side, improving track width and visual stance. These spindles are compatible with all Baywindow years, but will only accept the 1973–1979 late bay brake system.
