yet again, this is a thing i've been planning to do for a while now, basically it's a case of finding something suitable and putting it all together

my initial thoughts are to use the rear stub axles/bearings/hubs/calipers from a 6n2 polo

i'm lead to believe that the bolt pattern for the stub axles is the same as the felicia stub axles

i've got a nice bare felicia rear axle to play with.... next job is up to the scrap yard tomorrow to see what i can find:D

It has been done with VW Passat bits over on this thread Board Message but I'm guessing that link won't work, so sign posts to thread are

Have a look on www.skoda-forum.com for a bloke called Ken. He has done a rear disc conversion on his favorit track car (and a lot more too). I think he used passat or golf parts

thanks, for that guys, i'm keen not using golf stub axles because they have crap wheel bearing arrangements

My "version".... complet rear brakes from golf 2 GTI. You must modify brake wires.

i see you have the hp coilovers too, very nice

edit: that's a pickup isn't it??

jj, my felicia fun. And rear HP coilovers are modified from coilovers for hatchback (HP don't made set for pickup) + custom springs. Rear is -60mm low.

Was that just a straight bolt-on swap then plus changing the brake pipes?

Looks good...

yeah it is, i've just come back from the scrapyard and i had a look at a mk2 golf while i was there, couldn't get the brake calipers off though because the bolts were rounded off, will go back with some more tools and have another go later

edit: changed my mind again:rolleyes:

You'll find that happens more and more with some newer cars, because it saves a few seconds when bolting things up in the factory.

That said, I know the Octys and Golf 4s use sealed hubs.

Out of interest... if you was going to do this to a Felicia with ABS, can you simply swap over the sensor wiring?

You must use GIII gti/corrado g60 brakes with ABS sensors...

will it make much difference changine the back brakes in terms of stopping performance?

If you happen to come across a mk2 16v stub axle on your hunt give me a shout tom :P.

Other than that I have the complete setup in a box here

the polo has the abs sensor attached to the back of the hub rather than on the disc. plus the polo/lupo ones have the same wiring connector so you don't even need to change the plugs over:)

not a great deal no, but disc brakes are imho more reliable and don't tend to suffer from seizing up like drums do

is it a left or right one you are after?? they are different....

what set up have you got?? i will consider anything really:)

Hmm, interesting. Thanks for info.

i know these aren't necessary but i've got some spacers to go behind the rear stub axles to widen the rear track width

Nice idea. Amongst other things, it'll avoid the brake pulsing issues and offset change issues associated with the "normal" spacers.

now theres a good idea. sod wheel spacers. have stub spacers instead.

out of intrest. how thick are they? and do you have the dimensions to hand;)

Its not a new idea, plus if you make them wider at the bottom you can dial in some negative camber.

watch out if you are doing it on drums brakes though, the brake pipes might not be long enough

these are 5mm, i don't have the dimensions, i bought these off ebay, but i can reverse engineer it into an autocad drawing for you
