Fez 3.5 hubs onto a mk3 frst
do they fit? mocked them a couple of months ago,
does the later lower arms fit or do i need to get the hubs drilled out?
track rod ends? will the 3.5 fez fit the mk3 steering rack?
i also know the mk3 suspention struts are smaller than the hole in the hub, so how can i get round this dont realy wanna change the suspention its self as
they are avo coilovers?? and advice will be greatly aprecated!

if you dont want to change the coilovers prob best to keep mk3, also the driveshafts need to be changed as the splines are diffrent too, not sure on the arms, etc

gotta go with the late hubs it eats wheel bearings mate last set have only down 100 miles and are f**cked tryed everything but the car has wide wheels and over 200fpt
The drive shafts are fine off the later fez just gotta fabricate a braked to hold the bearing as they are equal length driveshaft, hopefully getting rid of some the torque steer and have better one piece bearings.
i no its not gonna be easy to do but did we all buy an rst for an easy life!? lol

Ive been looking into this myself mate, you will need 3.5 lower arms as the bottom ball joints bigger. Im pretty sure the steering rack and track rod ends are the same.
With the shockie ive seen somewhere that u can make a shim - 0.6mm to fill the gap havent tried it yet because im just waiting to pick some coilovers up...
