Drop ppindles can not be used on Super Beetles. All brake parts must be thoroughly cleaned, and disc brake grease should be applied to all brake pad contact surfaces to prevent squeaks and vibrations. The stock master cylinder can be used with front disc brakes. However, if you are converting to 4 wheel disc brakes, you must install a large bore master cylinder. For easier brake bleeding, consider adding quick bleeder valves to your order. Our Expert’s Take: Stock drum brakes are adequate enough for a stock VW if all the components are in good working order. As soon as any performance modifications are made to your VW, the original brakes should be upgraded to suit. Virtually no modern cars use drum brakes, least of all on the front of the car where most of the braking power is. Updating the brakes on your VW should be considered mandatory for any car that is driven regularly, and cross drilled and slotted brake rotors add to a more high performance look. The Standard Beetle or Karmann Ghia drop spindle front disc brake kit lowers the front suspension 2.5″ while maintaining the factory ride and steering which is a plus for those looking to drop the front end a bit over stock.Sam Sam Mebane joined the team way back in the mid 90’s.
