pretty much any 5 stud MK3, Corrado or Passat and some SEATs will work.

You need for front:
wishbones
anti roll bar + link rods
track rods
driveshafts
hubs

for the back you just need MK3/Rado rear discs.  You can use your old calipers n carriers if they are 280mm jobbers.

sorry to hijack!

is there any point to do all this work? as i have 4 stud to 5 stud spacers to get my porsche wheels on but people say that the spacers course more stress on the hub, is that true??
