Title: Stock width beam, dropped spindles, but wide 5 discs? Post by: beetletom on December 08, 2015, 23:57:17 pm Am running a stock width link pin beam, with dropped spindles
But would like to get some decent brakes on it! I've seen csp do a kit, that the caliper mount bolts onto drum spindles , but do they work, if fitted to dropped spindles? I'm also running stock wide 5 steels, so clearance shouldn't be a problem? Thanks Title: Re: Stock width beam, dropped spindles, but wide 5 discs?

Thought I'd ask on here as a lot of parts have been tried and tested by people Title: Re: Stock width beam, dropped spindles, but wide 5 discs? Post by: stait9 on December 10, 2015, 00:54:27 am Hi
I'm running CB performance front discs with dropped spindles, however, the disc kits add about 3/4 of an inch back on each side so ended up with a narrowed beam. It's only 2 inches which means I can still run a sway bar that are readily available. I believe one of the AirKewld kits doesn't add width so that could be an option - http://www.airkewld.com/Stage-3-1949-65-VW-Beetle-Complete-Disc-Brake-Kit-p/4020.htm Hope that's of help Cheers Stuart Title: Re: Stock width beam, dropped spindles, but wide 5 discs?

I'm getting the wheels banded on the inside, so I can run 175/55 continental's |
