[mtalp50]

Hello to all, i am new to this site . I am cuurently restoring my wifes 73 beetle and would like to up grade the brake system to disc brakes ,The engine would be a 1641 mild [ ITS FOR MY WIFE} Is there any companies out there that make a quality engineered product that works , meaning brackets arent flimsy and you wouldnt have off set wheels ? Just trying to do my homework thank you to all that can help

Welcome to the site.

Easiest way to convert the front to disc is using Karmanm Ghia parts.

Search the classifieds, here is one example:

With the 67 and newer bugs, you have it made!! you can git all factory VW parts If you do decide to git A kit just make sure you spend the money to git quality parts! dont cheep out!! no price shopping The best way to do it is find A nice good set of Ghia spindles and rotors, you can git them from A wrecking yard, some one parting one out on craigslist, or just find the parts in the classifieds on here,, then git NEW bearings, loaded calipers, and flex lines..

I got the AC Industries "bolt-on" kit, which I do think adds to the track width. I'm running stock steel wheels and have no problem with clearance, and you could never visually tell. If you have aftermarket wheels, I can't advise, but otherwise I recommend the kit. It's a world of difference in stopping power, and only a hour or two of work installing.
