.A.N.T. 0 Posted April 11, 2006 soon as. cant believe the old bearings. only changed 2 1/2 years ago. but absolutly shot. car feels so much better for it. Got mine done last month, can't believe how nice the car feels now... Like driving a new car! (think they were proper shagged when I had them replaced!) Now just need to sort out the 1001 other things that are wrong with it... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bristolbaron 10 Posted April 11, 2006 is it safe to drill new holes that close to the old ones? Is this a common route to take? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iow_corrado_g60 0 Posted April 11, 2006 bazza im with is there anyway the old holes could be welded back in and then the new ones drilled! would make me feel a bit better that it wouldnt crack! into the old hole as the wheels do thake a lot of stick!

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted April 11, 2006 My front bearings only lasted 2 years aswell, but they were GSF natty ones. I hope the VAG replacements last longer! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g60bv 0 Posted April 11, 2006 My front bearings only lasted 2 years aswell, but they were GSF natty ones. I hope the VAG replacements last longer! they where ecp ones. multi drill disc are ok. there loads of space between the holes. i was going to use tt discs. but didn't.

Jim 1 Posted March 9, 2007 Time to bump an old'ish thread! So to convert to five stud on the front its literally: VR6 CV's, hubs, wheel bearings, and discs? And on the back its just brake discs isn't it? Sounds stupid but I really am thinking about doing this simply because I want to be able to fit VR6 speedlines to my car - my favourite wheels ever! Are there any offset issues? Would Speedo's poke out or sit too far into the arches because the 2.0 16v runs different (non-plus) suspension to the VR6? Cheers.

g60bv 0 Posted March 9, 2007 hay hay. its been found, i thought this was lost. i couldn't find this on a search. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flusted 0 Posted March 10, 2007 i thought you had to use the 5stud wishbone,roll bar and ball joint as the balljoint is different? obviously not :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marcus 0 Posted April 3, 2007 So i only have to get some 305mm discs re-drilled? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
12 DEG BEN 0 Posted April 3, 2007 If you use vr bearing housings on a narrow wishbone, the wheel will not be centered in the wheel arch. Been there done it. Changed to a narrow track to fit porsche wheels and brembos. Vr on narrow wishbones. Wheel sits 40 mill back. g60 on wide wishbones. 40 mill forward. Just change the cv and hub for 5 stud.

carpoid 0 Posted October 18, 2008 g60bv, am i right in thinking that VR6 front discs won't work because the offset is different ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g60bv 0 Posted October 18, 2008 i think that is correct but also there is little point in using vr6 dics. they are only 288mm. but if you used the whole vr6 hub assemby you could use audi tt 312 dics and i belive calipers.- hopfully someone on here will correct me- i dont own a vr. i used brembo 305mm discs from the seat ibiza range and re drilled the holes on my g60.. blimy this is an old thread Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carpoid 0 Posted October 18, 2008 Thanks mate, but i think the early VR6s are 280mm?, i've been searching on Vortex forums about it too. Yeah it is an old thread, damn handy though ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carpoid 0 Posted October 19, 2008 Just one more question on this one mate, am i right in thinking that the VR hubs use bigger lug bolts too ?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrbeige 0 Posted October 19, 2008 All Corrado VR6s were 280mm, it's only the mk3 VR6s that had the 288mm disc, IIRC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zak 0 Posted October 19, 2008 5 stud hubs require m14 wheel bolts where as the 4 stud hubs use m12 bolts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
20vtvw 0 Posted October 22, 2008 do you need vr6 bearings or the 1ns from 4 stud carrier?? are they differant?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vwdeviant 0 Posted October 22, 2008 Also what to do on the rears? As Jim said just swap the rear hubs/carrier assembly? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
20vtvw 0 Posted October 22, 2008 rears are just vr discs i think Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
