i think you may need the hubs as they are part of the calipers

but i could be wrong

Think that the Mk3 GTi are 5 stud mate... rather than the 'normal' Golf 3 using 4-stud.


Cheers,

That's right. To fit mark 3 gti or vr6 stuff (the later vr6 disks are bigger) you'll need to change the hubs & wheels. You are better off using mark 2 gti stuff instead.

if you have the 5 stud hubs mate then the rest of the stuff "should" just bolt on

but which hubs have you got?
normal ones?
gti ones?
vr6 ones?

Get the parts off the donor car above and you will be laughing. One of my mates works at VW and he's done a couple of VR6 looking diesels now
