not sure on the MK3, but on lexus sc300 they are literally a bolt on "bbk". maybe thats the hub he is talking about?
If you use the hub the wheels will not sit right in the fender well. Best bet to use them would be to mock it up and make a custom braket. Takes some time and lots of accurate measurements and then take it to a machinist and have them made.
Someone needs to make conversion brackets. It seems like I see threads just like this one every week.
There is more to it than this unfortunately. Which is why it is not done more often on the MKIII. The spindle is not a direct fit either. And the calipers are problematic for not only brackets, but they are huge, heavy aqnd of course will not fit inside of sawblades and many others.
Not to mention expensive as hell when there's better options on the market. I'd sell em and buy a MKIII specific BBK, but that's just me...
alright guys thanks for the replys. ill probably just sell them and use that money towards an actual mk3 bbk. thanks again
Sethron71 is coming up with a new bbk. If not that there is also arz which his kit is phenomenal and has very nice options for a tad more money than what seths kit is going to be.
yea i would sell them. i was going to put them on my first mk3 a while ago but never did. i bought new brembo drilled and slotted rotors for them as well as some hawk pads i believe. see how much he would wanna give me and we can go from there.
