Re: for the last time! 5 LUG! help me out im in a jam (ensone)

No.
Get a 5lug front hub and outer CV from a VR6 car. Take the hub and bearing to your local machine shop and have them turn the hub down to press fit into the bearing (probably want to bring a good stock hub too to check size). Have your brake rotors redrilled for 5x100. Install the hub and bearing into your late Mk1 spindle (85+). Take the VR outer CV and install it on your axle. Install brakes. Enjoy.
Rear is easy, just swap discs.

Re: for the last time! 5 LUG! help me out im in a jam (need_a_VR6)
