    S2 hubs on 2.8CQ

    I've decided I want to do the conversion to 5x112 with S2 hubs on my B4 2.8 AAH Coupe Quattro.
    I'll apologise in advance as I know there's a hell of a lot of info online regarding the swap but I've been reading about it for weeks and starting to get thoroughly confused with it all and specifically where the 2.8CQ fits in with it. I've currently got the whole rear end in bits but will be starting to build up my diff/subframe etc back up again shortly so will need to start looking for parts soon. I think Albert is going to help me out with the hubs so I'm really just looking for confirmation that these will just go straight on F&R or will I need outer CVs, bearings etc as well?

    Thanks Alan

      I admire your enthusiasm but why would you bother changing hubs why not hub spacers /adaptors save all the hassle

        Because hub adapters are ghetto and 5x112 gives you access to far more brake and wheel options.

          Pretty much as above, I'd rather have a more open choice of offsets instead of loosing 20mm straight away with an adaptor. Cars in bits so no difference in pressing in 112 or 108 hubs with the new bearings.
