KING PIN FRONT DISC BRAKES

Engineered for Early Link Pin Beams Our kits are designed to address the specific geometry and spindle requirements of the early VW torsion beam. Whether you’re restoring a vintage Bug or plumbing a rugged Sand Rail, we offer comprehensive solutions:

• The "Wide 5" Look: Many of our king pin kits are available with the classic 5x205 bolt pattern, allowing you to run your favorite vintage-style wheels while hiding high-performance rotors and calipers behind them.

• Complete Spindle Kits: These conversions often include heavy-duty spindles designed to mount the calipers securely, ensuring perfect alignment and a firm pedal feel.

• Stock or Dropped Options: Maintain your original ride height or achieve a lower, more aggressive stance with king pin dropped spindles that include disc brake mounting brackets.

Why Upgrade Your Early Front End? The transition from drums to discs on a king pin beam is a transformative upgrade. Original drums are prone to pulling to one side and fading during heavy use. Disc brakes offer consistent, straight-line stopping power and are much easier to maintain. For Dune Buggy and off-road applications, the open design of the disc brake allows sand and debris to clear away more effectively than enclosed drum systems.
