This is my second VR6 swap and it's a little more challenging then my first, i'm stuffing a VR6 into an 88 Jetta and need advice on selection for Subframe, spindle and a-arm selection.
I want to know if I use a 2.0L K-Frame, A-Arms and Spindles, will i be able to use the Corrado G-60 Axles and Brakes that are already on the golf (Already Swapped) the 6 is coming from? will it be considered a Plus 1 setup? thanks in advance.

i swapped a MK3 rear k frame onto my 90 corrado with the mk3 control arms and the axles ended up coming up short. Ended up swapping a set of MK3 axles that i had sitting around in and calling it a day.

The A-arms are the same size.

i used mk3 control arms. if you were to use mk2 corrado control arms then you wouldnt have to run MK3 axles..
