Octavia rear beam on fabia?

[Alex_fabia]

I have the chance to get hold of a mk1 octavia vrs rear beam (poly bushed...) just wandered if this would fit onto my mk1 fabia vrs?

[kiddy1]

It wouldn't... Why would you want to?

The poly bushes however... They may fit on a fabia rear beam if you can get them out cleanly... (powerflex?)

alex its not the same so we can just swap the brakes over ;-)

kiddy he was asking as the brakes on the rear are bigger on the octy so make a good upgrade and the rear beam had been polybushed but we now realise its different so just brakes to swap over

yeah they are 2 piece and newish so i will take them out for him and compare the 2 ;-)

Ah fair enough i'm looking for 256mm setup aswell. I was curious as to why you would swap the beam incase there were any drastic benefits I was not aware of :p

Well put it this way. You can put fabia VRS bushes into the rear beam on an Octavia (and it's a popular mod!) so I can assume that powerflex rear beam bushes are the same spec.

well i have the rear brake setup but it has uprated disc and pads and i have the poly bushes if they come out okay ;-) pm me
