I'm struggling with my 5 lug conversion on an audi 80 b4 tdi.
I've kind of sorted out the hubs, so i'm looking for an alternative to s2 brakes. The last paragraph matters.
Got the hub carriers from one cabrio v6 (the one with the bigger bearing) and i'm looking for the hub.
-From what I've heard, urs4/urs6 hubs may fit with minor machining but I couldn't have found any.
-S2 hubs are out of production.
-a4 b5 quattro rear hubs are pretty expensive as new since no aftermarket manufacturer produces them
-audi a4/100/200 5x112 hubs have minor height, with adaptions it may be possible to run but there are too many adaptions needed and it's not safe.
I found two other hubs that may fit.
-vw t4 . height is the same as the v6 hub that I have removed. The hub diameter is however bigger (141 compared to 127) and the bearing have one inner diameter (45) compared to the audi bearing that has two inner diametres (43 and 45)
-vw sharan/ford galaxy . Two millimeters smaller in height, again only one diameter on bearing side.
Tommorow I wil get both hubs for examining. By machining the outter diameter, the t4 theoretically should fit, along with the rest of assembly. If it doesen't match, i will keep looking for the scrapyard alternatives.
However, i need your help for the rotors and brake calipers.
I currently have the 256mm rotor setup. I don't want to redrill them so I'm looking for a complete setup swap. I can't find any cheaper alternative to s2 calipers even though i found s2 rotors for cheap. Sharan calipers maybe? Any other choices?
Should say it must be cheap and findable. Boxster calipers is an easy choice but way over budget. Girling 60 are cheap but can't find any nearby.
A4 rotors along with calipers? or other alternatives?
