Driving With Drop Spindle and Brake Upgrades

[@earlsinoz]

Hey guys, appreciate all the good info you packed into this one, easy to understand too... Keep up the great work 🤙

[@bomberobus]

We’ll try. Thanks for checking it out.

[@oscar_dubs]

great explanation!. Drop spindles are the way to go if you want to get rid of the monster truck look.

[@bomberobus]

“Monster truck”😂, why does stock have to be so high?! 🛻

[@vwsandvettes3253]

You guys make some killer mods to your cars and you do great work! Congratulations on the drop spindles and I hope you enjoy the cars even that much more. Take care - Ted

[@bomberobus]

[@bomberobus]

Thanks Tony B. You know how we have to balance out safety and coolness 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

I built a car for my friend's sister one day I pulled my bug up directly in front of his sister's bug and made the comment to him her car looks scared😂 because the front end was so high and its backing down like it was in a corner😂

[@bomberobus]

@@evilbeetlekustomscreations4965 now that’s funny! 😂 because it’s true

[@bubot17]

Most of my vw life my brakes are drum my cars are 66 and older, when i got myself a late bug, and tried discs, man what a difference, because of that i modded the engine for more power

[@bomberobus]

I’m on drums in the 65. I keep telling myself they’re fine but you nailed it…I really need discs with my 1800. One day. Thanks for the input.

[@bubot17]

@@bomberobus there's a hack i did with my 66 ghia (wide 5) i used the whole brake assembly from a 71 bug which has 40mm wide shoes compared to the original 30mm,worked great, still looking for a type 3 wide 5 brake set

[@bomberobus]

@@bubot17 I love how VW guys can make stuff happen! That’s awesome

[@sevenoaksbrewing]

[@QuillsVWsurgeryUK]

Great job 👏

[@bomberobus]

Much appreciated.

[@cyprianskiba8768]

Looks amazing! Like the transformers bumblebee

[@jameshisself9324]

Reusing the line? Brother that old rubber had cracks I could see in the video. Go ahead and treat yourself to a nice upgrade to stainless braided lines. Probably bigger difference than the rotors.

[@bomberobus]

Definitely getting some because the brakes are bled well but still don’t seem to work as good as they could, for being brand new…and the cracks.

[@campervanbug7658]

Took mine for a 2 day spin last week😊 been sitting in storage since spring fired me right up

[@campervanbug7658]

Do they make lifted spindles besides the thing ones?

[@bomberobus]

Oh man that had to feel gooooood!

[@bomberobus]

I really don’t know about that

[@evilbeetlekustomscreations4965]

"Funkenawsome"🤙✌️

[@bomberobus]

Thanks brother. 🤙🏼

[@eduardorodriguez3262]

Dub daily brother👍🇩🇪

[@Mars36912]

Look really good, great work, I'm looking to do mine and i got 165/65R15 and I'm curious if it will rub.

[@bomberobus]

The ones on this Bug rubbed ever so slightly on bumps. Not gonna lie…very light massaging was done at the fender well. Very light.

[@Mars36912]

@@bomberobus Thanks

[@johnfreeman1189]

I like the stance. Has the rear suspension been lowered and what are the tire sizes. ✌

[@ratsrevengevdubs1606]

Thanks!👊 Front: 2" narrowed beam adjusted 1 1/2" down. 2 1/2" drop spindles. Wheel 15 × 4 1/2". Tire 155/60 r15. Back: 1 click down on Inner spline. Wheel 15 × 6" 3.750 backspace. Tire 185/65 r15.

@@ratsrevengevdubs1606 Thanks for the reply brother. That is the info I was looking for. Working on a 63 bug. ✌

[@Thomzombie303]

What exhaust manifolds you running, also what heads and valves you got on that set up? I have a stock 1500 i want to spruce up and i'd like to set it up with dual 40's like you

[@bomberobus]

My bad for the late response. Those are the 500 series heads from AA. I made a video comparing those heads to stock ones that you can find in the channel. Basically, that whole engine build is in there. I also have several vids of an 1800cc I built which you might be interested in. It takes no machine work and is definitely worth the extra power. The 1800 that I built in this channel is still running like a top. Best of luck whatever you choose!

whats the name of the re grease? and brand?
