What is the total axle width from hub to hub?
Total weight of this axle?
This axle is same for mk5/mk6?
Does the 7,5" diff fit? Because i will only go RWD not 4x4 or will it work with the oem mk6 diff?
What is the max hp / tq on mk6 diff?
Do you know any good site for adjustable Control arm etc?
Any differens on the axle from a normal car / cosworth?
Many questions i know but i hope this help me deside what way to go. I want to stay ford parts

Thanks in advance!
I'd have thought that the diff would be no where near strong enough.
