This kit is the result of many years of refining our other disc brake kits, with help from our customers and their input. Designed to fit inside your stock 14”inch VW bus wheels, and will fit inside most any wheel you will put on the front of your 73-79 bus. Despite having a large 11”inch rotor and a Quality US made 4 piston Wilwood caliper, this brake kit only has a + 5mm offset, And it comes with all the parts needed to do the conversion except for grease.

Replacement parts are all readily available.

The rotors are from a 944/911 Porsche. The bearings are the stock ones for your bus and same with the seals and the caliper is one of the most common, made by Wilwood. We build this disc brake kit in house on our machines in Salem Oregon and we are very proud to offer it to you. This disc kit ships with a stock 112mm bolt pattern.

Please understand that we build these kits, in our shop and usually assemble to order – as they come in, and you may have to wait a week or more. If you want to know how long just email us.

Thanks Nate @ Wagenswest

This rear bay bag kit is made to go with our air-ride beam, found here.

This is not a job for the novice, but it really is the best way we have found to bag the back of a Bay Window bus. Horseshoe drop plates or 4.5” drop plates are needed to get you low, and this kit will both notch the frame for your axles and give you UP & DOWN motion.

Wagenswest started making these drop spindles many many years before the large companies came along and flooded the market with poor quality imported sketchy junk spindles. We still make them, with attention to quality and geometry, 2 things the other companies seam not to care about. This quality thing, is why Wagenswest has decided to stay small and focus on making parts that work good. We build these spindles in house and typically you can expect a 2 to 3 week wait to get a set after you order. THANK YOU!

1968 – 79 bay bus 2.5 lifted ball joint spindles.

These are heavy duty, welded and lifted spindles for your late VW bus.

These lifting spindles will bolt directly to your 1968-79 bus without any mods and they have been drilled at a custom angle for your stock speedometer cable.

On the disk brake lifted spindles we put the driver’s side spindle stub on the right side and passenger on the left. We do this because they fit best like this and the spindle pinch nuts are more than adequate to retain the hub. These spindles will widen your track by >.5″ inch + per side.
