288mm brakes help

[nate03]

Ive been searching for months on the forum and ebay to find hubs for my Dab to allow me to install the bigger 288mm brakes. I came across an old thread by guinness which suggested that the hubs from the mk4 golf, A3, Octavia and Leon may fit. Unfortunately the question was unresolved and im still none the wiser.

Does anyone know if these hubs are compatible as they are much easier to come by?

Cheers

Cheers Gus, I just phoned them but they quoted me £95 per hub thats near enough what i would pay from the stealers. I can get two mk4 golf gti hubs for £50 but its not much of a bargain if they dont fit!

Any ideas?

As far as I know, according to vag-cat atelast, the only other cars that have the hubs required are Fabia Vrs (or equivalent of pd130 upwards) and apparently polo 9n2 (again engine dependent).
Other than that, its scrappies or dealers at £95 a piece
I'm still waiting to do this too!
