B4 coupe 5x112 hub conversion
Hi,
Apologies if this subject has been covered numerous times but I just need a definitive answer. I have some S2 wheels (5x112) and some 996 4 pot brembos (fronts). I'm looking to do a complete 4 corner 5x112 hub conversion and just wondering what I can source the hubs off. Obviously an S2 has these but they are not that common. Is it correct that the rear hubs from a A4Q b5 can be used on the front along with the bearing housing? The rears are just a case of 5x112 hub and disc swap as they have stub axles? Are there any other models I can do a cheap and easy swap? I'm so very confused! Thanks in advance Steve Last edited by Peacedub; 29-12-17 at 10:03 AM. |

So from Mark's (VDT) advice, I contacted Pete at Quattro corner, bloody nice bloke! He stated that to do this conversion I would need the whole lot from an S2 (Hub, housing and driveshafts) and to get hold of these as 1 lot will be a mission! So might have some 996 Brembos up for sale soon

Over on S2 Forum , a member had a set for sale very recently at £450. They may be gone now but think it was Quattrodan who advertised- worth a try!

Depends what you are starting out from.
What car / engine is getting the swap ?

Don't suppose anyone knows if any 4x108 discs exist out there with a big enough diameter and correct 'hat'?

The original Focus RS used ~324mm discs and were 4x108. No idea about centre bore or offset

Ok as you've put it on here i'll answer here instead of pm.
i'm not a 100% sure but pretty sure 16v driveshafts and hub carriers are the wrong type like the the rest of the lower power range will be wrong for an easy S2 hub conversion. If your car was a V6 then the front conversion is straightforward as the driveshafts and hub carriers are the same. Just take the hubs of and press in S2 hubs. For the rears there is something about A6 C4 front hubs that fit. Alternatively get a B5 A4 whole rear axle this will have the 5 stud already there and will increase the track by 5mm. It's the same axle as fitted to the 80 but Audi used different bearing, disc and hubs. So you could convert your 80 rear by going down the converting route. You'll also need B5 abs ring as well.

I've spoken to a few people now and for the complete S2 front setup I'm looking a grand! I know I'll never lose on the price as they will re sell but I'm not planning to sell my car,lol. I think i'll just see how I get on with standard brakes for the time being, to be fair I only do about 1k a year. Worst case I'll look at bigger 4x108 discs. Appreciate all the info guys. At least I have something to think about. |
