Classic VW Type 3 Front Disc Brake Conversion Kit - 4153G2

We take for granted a vehicle stopping in an adequate amount of time. Classic Volkswagens don't have brakes that can be counted on, time after time, at least not on today's highways when needed most. It's time to change that. It's time to install an American-Made disc brake kit that exceeds expectations every time. It's time for a set of BAD Series Disc Brakes from your friends at Airkewld.

The GEN 2 set of BAD Series Brakes brings new life to a tried and true disc brake conversion. Any conversion offered by the PRO's will come with all the necessary parts to install; you will only need to supply the brake fluid and furnish the lug nuts required to fit your actual wheels. If you need to know what you need, check out this article.

The rotors consist of three parts; the hub, the bolt pattern, and the rotor. All parts are made in the USA with high-end CNC machines. The BAD Series rotors have a lifetime warranty as well. If you wear one out, we will send you a new one free; pay shipping. These hubs allow the interchanging of bolt patterns. What does this mean? If you order them with a Chevrolet 5x4.75 bolt pattern and you want to install Porsche wheels a few months later, you can! All it takes is removing the bolt patterns from the rotors and installing the new ones.

Track Width
Wide 5x205mm adds 3/8" of track to each side as all others are zero.
