EMPI Front Disc Brake Conversion Kit — Link Pin Beetle & Ghia 1954-1965
Bring modern stopping power to your early air-cooled. The EMPI Bolt-On Front Disc Brake Conversion Kit fits 1954-1965 Link Pin Front End VW Beetles and 1956+ Karmann Ghias. Featuring a 4x130 lug pattern with 14x1.5mm threads, this kit gives you the safety and confidence of disc brakes without the complexity of swapping spindles.
The caliper bracket mounts directly to your stock-height drum brake spindle — no spindle change required, no modifications to the chassis. Just bolt it on, transfer your brake lines, and bleed.
What's in the Kit:
- 4x130 drilled brake rotors (pair)
- Front calipers and pads (pair)
- Caliper mounting brackets
- Wheel bearings, spacers, and seals
- Complete mounting hardware
- Installation instructions
Specifications:
- Part #: 22-2986
- Lug Pattern: 4x130
- Thread: 14x1.5mm
- Fits: 1954-1965 VW Beetle (Link Pin), 1956-1965 VW Karmann Ghia (Link Pin)
Important Installation Notes:
- Must use stock-style drum brake spindles. Will NOT fit drop spindles or other disc brake spindles.
- Track width will increase slightly versus stock — verify wheel clearance before ordering
- Add quick bleeder valves to your order — this saves substantial time when bleeding the new brake lines
- If converting to 4-wheel disc brakes, a separately sold large-bore master cylinder is required
This is the single most popular safety upgrade for early Beetles and Ghias — and a perfect companion to lowered front beam builds with our caster shim kits.

Lightweight and True to Size — Best for Casual Use
Size: 9.5, Color: Navy, Size: 9.5, Color: Navy
It is nice to see the Amazon Essentials brand expand from household essentials to apparel and shoes.
I ordered the Amazon Essentials Men's Lightweight Knit Running Sneakers. The product is made in Vietnam and comes in a shoe box, which is nice. I've noticed that quite often, inexpensive shoes are delivered just in a plastic bag. The sneakers are ready to use and have no odors from glue, organic solvents, etc., which is common nowadays.
I wear a size 9W or 9.5. These sneakers are 9.5 and feel like a typical 9.5 size, without surprises. The product is advertised as lightweight, and it is true. Each shoe weighs below 0.6 lb (265 grams). Inside is soft memory foam; the shoes sit on the foot well, snug enough and comfortable, and are easy to put on and take off.
They seem like a good fit for spring and summer as casual footwear or for light gym use. The sole is simple and not designed for performance or high-impact activities. Overall, a solid, reasonably priced, comfortable everyday option, though not intended for serious running or training.

Budget buy while being as comfy and stylish as an expensive brand!
Size: 9.5, Color: Navy, Size: 9.5, Color: Navy
My 14 year old had been running his own business since he was 12. He does lawn care and snow removal. His go to shoes when it's too hot for his work boots has always been off brand hey d*de style ones which are terrible for that kind of work as they just don't have the ankle support.
He's also had some Orthopedic arch supports custom made for him through the DR in the last year that he needs to use in whatever shoes he's wearing at the time. So I've been on the search for a simple pair of slip on shoes that he could wear while working long hours around our community.
He's sent me this picture tonight before heading out. He said "I didn't feel like putting my arch supports in and these are so comfy that I don't even notice I don't have them!"
They are sharp looking shoes that really stand out as of they were A high end pair! It's great that they can be an every day style or could be more of a sport shoe as they have the support and padding for both options.
In our case they likely be green with in a day or two and it'll be interesting to see how well they wipe off between his work days. I can update this review once he's worn them a bit more.
For now they have been perfect for versatility, size was true to size (I did order 1/2 size up, but only did that because he's growing so fast!) and they are definitely a great fit to a budget!!!!

Good purchase.
Size: Medium, Color: Black, Size: Medium, Color: Black
My daughter needed some black sweaters for work at Starbucks. Came across these and snatched one. Price was really good, it is soft, black color is vivid and did not fade after washing. Durable and well-made. Fits as expected...she wanted something loose on her to wear on cold nights over her shirt. Keeps her warm. It came pretty quickly. The material is soft and its comfortable to wear. Nice basic sweatshirt to have in your closet! Pleased with purchase 😊 hopefully this helps!!
Oh we intentionally bought bigger for an oversized fit.
