MR PK Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Hi everyone,I m new to the scene and I bought a Seat Arosa 1.0 ltr. So I got a bit over enthusiastic once I saw a couple of really nice Lupos and thought 'Yes' lol. Thought I would start out really slowly with a set of coilovers and take it from there but one night, you know where I m going with this, I accidently bought some bits. Typical me. Basically, does anyone know how I do a five stud conversion but not the adapter route? I know its a long shot but I read a few posts from guys who really know their stuff.ThanksPaul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarosa Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 You have to change the hubs if you don't want to do the adaptors route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooper_GTI Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 On the front you'll have to press in the new 5 stud drive flange from something like a Polo 9N.On the rear I'm pretty sure you can run a complete 5-stud Polo stub axle.Just bear in mind you'll need to either re-drill your current discs, or fit some calipers/discs off a 5 stud car too which could get complicated...

Think I may have to have a look at a 5 stud Golf set up or TT.P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
