til2143 0 Posted November 24, 2009 Im doing a 5 stud wide track conversion on my 8V Corrado, ive used the search and can seem to find some info, i know i need VR6 hubs VR6 Wishbones VR6 anti rollbar and links VR6 CV joints Do i need VR6 drives? and how to i work the tie rods as i want to keep my original rack and as far as i know the VR6 tie rods dont screw into the 8v rack? Cheers Lads, any help would be great Paul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
s1m0n 0 Posted November 25, 2009 I've not tried it using the 8v steering arms but my gut feel is that they would be too short (or insufficient thread would be left) So I would say VR6: - Hubs Wishbones Ball joints Drive shafts (including CV's of course) Steering arms Roll bar & drop links I've not tried to screw VR steering arms into an 8v rack but I think the screw mounts are the same. You know you can use MK3 16v and MK3 VR6 parts too right? More about (and cheaper) than Corrado VR parts. My wide track MK2 Golf is a mix of MK3 Golf 16v (drive shafts, wishbones, hubs, steering arms, rack) , MK3 Golf VR6 (rear beam) & Corrado VR6 (brakes & speedline wheels).

Purple Tom 0 Posted November 25, 2009 I've tried to fit VR6 steering arms to an 8V rack and I can confirm that they are the same - its just the length of the arms themselves that's different... Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted November 26, 2009 What year is it - I thought late 8V's were Plus suspension anyway or is it just the Outer CV's that are VR6? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tom Thats great Tom thanks, it means i can put the longer vr6 ones on to my existing rack What year is it - I thought late 8V's were Plus suspension anyway or is it just the Outer CV's that are VR6? Its 95, an it has plus suspension, which is the same shocks and top mounts as a vr6, still has the narrow track tho, im refurbing all the running gear and i want to change her to 5 stud properly so i can run speedlines :) I've not tried it using the 8v steering arms but my gut feel is that they would be too short (or insufficient thread would be left) So I would say VR6: - Hubs Wishbones Ball joints Drive shafts (including CV's of course) Steering arms Roll bar & drop links I've not tried to screw VR steering arms into an 8v rack but I think the screw mounts are the same.
