I'm sure this has been covered a million and one times but can someone give me a definitive guide in converting to 5 stud on my lovely mk2? Thanks :smiley:
-
Go wide track with mk3 hubs, wishbones and track rods on the front, and a mk3 rear axle as its about 10-15mm wider than a mk2.
Mk2 narrow track is a b@stard to do, but the rear is just simply discs and hubs.
-
OK thanks for that, so narrow track is narrower than I currently have?
I'm looking for a bit of dish when it comes to wheels, is a wider track going to affect that in any way when it comes to being lowered?
-
No no, narrow track is what you've got already, fitting the Mk3 components will give it a wider track, hence the term.
What kind of wheels are you looking at, or is it a set of 5x100's that have tickled your fancy?
-
nothing special, just these (http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTIwMFgxNjAw/$(KGrHqV,!g0E7RkWCBvsBPHI3zyIGQ~~60_12.JPG)
..... to start with :grin:
I assume they're 5x100 :grin:
thanks for the gen, I am new to the VAG game!
And if I wanted to fit PAS as well, what would the repercussions be? mk2 or mk3 components for that?
-
Those wheels are early A4 items, so they'll be 5x112 I think, and god knows why you would want to fit them :sick: .
Retro-fitting PAS isn't too bad a job, but it all depends on your spanner skills and what car you want to fit it to. Also Mk2 items from a scrapped GTi would be your best bet.
-
They are 100% 5x112 and horrid tbh :smiley:

Christ been ages since i last posted. Alright those wheels are pretty rough, but better than the steels it currently doesn't run on. :grin: I'm just about to prepare to start buying parts, and it should be moving to its new home soon.
It needs all new brakes as they are all seized on now :rolleyes: So I'm thinking either 5-stud it or all new 4-stud and go for rear discs instead. Is it advisable to fit an uprated master cylinder, and can i fit a servo in there too?

Don't suppose you still have any of these parts do you?

My Spanner skills aren't too shabby, I'm pretty confident with one actually. I've had a good look about on eBay but they all seem to go for quite a bit!
