Friday June 30th, 2023 | Airkewld HQ | Stage 1 PRObuilt Beam & GEN 2 BAD Series Disc Brake Combo
A major part of the #AirkewldArmy contingent is our dealers who trust in the PRO's when it comes to building projects for their clients and it starts and ends with quality products that makes life easier, not harder.
That is why Auto Fanatik in Florida uses #PRObuilt components from Airkewld.
Alvin and his team are working on a Late-Model Karmann Ghia that needed the drive-train to be adjustable and tunable. Up to 10" of ride height adjustment and 24 different ride quality settings. That is STANDARD with a Stage 1 PRObuilt Beam (4" narrowed) with adjustable shocks from RideTech/Fox Racing. Then couple that with a set of American Made disc brakes, utilizing a 4 Piston Wilwood caliper, coated in Black powder coat. This GEN 2 BAD Brake set up uses a 5x4.50 bolt pattern and can easily be changed out to any other 5 lug configuration in a few minutes and ft lbs, due to the removable bolt patterns on the (Billet Assembled Disc) assembly.
Super trick feature is the hidden speedo cable connection under the Airkewld Star. I love it.
Every PRObuilt Beam comes with a PRObuilt Steering System that allows for an effortless and playless steering enjoyment.

Thursday June 29th, 2023 | Airkewld HQ | Transaxle & Brakes Combo
Just got done building a #PRObuilt Performance Transaxle for a 1956 Classic Volkswagen Beetle and we installed a set of GEN 2 BAD Series Disc Brakes in a Porsche 5x130mm bolt pattern. Very cool and unique addition to the GEN 2 brakes is the cap that hides the axle nut, I love it. The PRO's paint matched the calipers in Wilwood Red and expertly installed them for the bolt-in install. The PRO's palletized the transaxle and protected the entire product to avoid damage in transit by our friends at R&L Carriers.
The BEST way to enjoy the shifting experience at a high performance level (not racing) and low RPM's at higher speeds in a 1949 through 1965 Classic Volkswagen Type 1 Beetle and Karmann Ghia is with a PRObuilt Performance Transaxle equipped with *OEM sized Short Axle/Short Spline Axles (SASS). *(It can fit others, see the Complete Details section for more information).
This transaxle is Perfect for a Performance application. Key features of this transaxle are 3.88 Ring and Pinion, overdrive 4th, along with new synchros, bearings and seals in a rebuilt SASS 12 volt platform. It comes with welded gears, steel shift forks, super diff and heavy duty side plate. All transaxles that come from the PRO's are 12 volt and do not come with OIL. The PRO's recommend this oil from LAT or this on Amazon. You will need 3.5 quarts normally. No Core is Needed.
The PRO's offer a few different transaxle's with different axle lengths. This allows us to fit wheels with different offsets onto cars where as they wouldn't normally fit. So it is recommended you pick out your wheels first, run it by the PRO's to see what axle length makes sense, then choose a Cruiser application, (Freeway Flyer) or Performance application (not racing but more aggressive driving).
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.
