    Full suspension and steering upgrade for a fast FWD B2 Coupe

    I am converting a FWD B2 Coupe GT to 1.8 20V Turbo.

    Since it will produce around 250 to 300 HP, I want to upgrade the whole suspension setup on both axles, including wishbones, struts, hubs, brakes and everything else.

    I don't mine using parts from newer Models (b3, b4, or even b5 and b6) even if minor modifications are needed to the subframe.

    Is there an "of the shelf" conversion that fits my needs?

    Please note that I would be very happy if I could retrofit ABS brakes.

    For this power and weight +/- 1100 kg. I think Girling 60 brakes off a V6 coupe or so and upgraded rear brakes using UrS4 calipers, custom brackets and vented discs could be enough. In case you have got brake drums in the rear this means you need to fit a rear axle off a B2 90 or coupe 2.2.

    I got a 90q B2 with ABS but I will remove it so I will sell the parts of it.

        Thanks guys, is there a complete kit I can purchase for converting to b4 struts and audi sport wishbones?

        With this setup in front, what are my choices regarding hubs and abs parts? Will I be using OEM b4 stuff?

        In the rear I have fitted disc brakes from Golf mk2 GTI. What's your suggestion for rear end so that it is upgraded like the front ?
