Hub Change 5x100 - 5x114.3
Hello,
Will the 5x114.3 hubs fit on to a bug? i.e. will the calipers, suspension, steering all line up & bolt on ok? wheel nuts.
Literally will the only thing i have to change be the brake discs & wheels?
cheers,

I think it's a fairly straight swap - there may be an issues with the driveshafts on LSD/Helical diff equipped cars but not sure if it only affects the diff end or both diff and hub.

The driveshafts are different, so ...
Rear hubs, struts, driveshafts, rear diff., ( and brakes ? ) as it's easier.
Front hubs, struts and driveshafts and discs at least, if you can find out if the STI shafts for a wide track car will fit your gearbox.

P.S. To fit a late STI box into an earlier model car I'm sure you have to change the oil seals....
