I did a search on this topic and nothing came up. How hard is it to convert my 2.0 to 5x100 bolt pattern? What parts do i need and how much should i expect to spend doing this conversion? What about adapters? Where can this stuff be found? Thanks everyone.

You could either get the adapters from H+R or get the drums and front rotors from a GLX or GTI

Or rear rotors from a VR6 GTI. I have a GTI 2.0. Thats all the stuff i need? Just 4 rotors or the H&R adapters?

It would also be a good idea to slap some RH Cups 17x8 5x100 on there

There are no adapters that convert 4x100 to 5x100. You will need to install the rear rotors and bearings. The front is a little more complicated. You can either fill and drill your existing hubs to 5x100 and press in studs. Or you need to convert the Knuckles,control arms, axles from a VR6 donor car.

you could replace the front hubs with the euro car service conversion kit!!

It's only 175$ You save a lot compared to the full swap!!!

it's still cheaper than doing the full vr6 swap with A-arms, hubs, spindles, sway bar,etc.... How much is a vr6 brakes anyways??

I got the VR6 bits used for around $300 or so with 8k miles on the parts. I sold my stock parts for something like $200, so I ended up spending about $100 or so on the basic parts plus install. I did end up spending a good bit more than that cause I upgraded to 11.3" calipers, 12.3" Audi S3/TT brakes, stainless lines, etc., but the basic cost for the conversion is not all that much.
Sorry guys, I'd rather spend the extra $$ and do it "right". This is a critical part of the car and I don't want some "home engineered" kit installed.
YMMV.

EDIT: typo
