Lower your VW Bus a full 2 inches with these EMPI drop spindles — no cutting, no welding, no suspension surgery. These bolt-on spindles replace the factory units and drop the front of your Bay Window Bus while also widening the track by 3/4 inch per side for improved stance and stability. Brand new CNC-machined steel, not remanufactured cores.

Important brake fitment notes: These spindles require 1973 and later brake components. For 1968-1972 Buses, you will need to upgrade to 1973-79 front rotors, calipers, and hub bolts (sold separately). Buses from 1968-1970 also need 1971-79 front brake rotor hubs. NOT compatible with 5x205mm disc brake conversion kits. Smaller tires may be needed after installation. Original dust shields will not fit.

  • Drop: 2 inches
  • Track width: Increases by 3/4 inch per side
  • Finish: Raw steel (painting or powder coating recommended)
  • Weight: 27.2 lbs (pair)
  • Dimensions: 15 x 10.75 x 7 in
  • Sold as a left and right pair
  • Requires 1973-later brake components (sold separately)
