In an effort to get square shoulders, I got a set of GTI mk4 spindles and hubs from a scrap yard. I was going to weld and re-drill, but thought I'd get fancy. I made the bad assumption that there was only one diameter and ordered some hubs in from Latvia. The spindles are 30mm and the hubs are 28mm. I do have some adapter plates for the mounting hole differences, or I can cut/weld/drill/tap to mount whatever. I either have to identify and purchase new stubs that are 28mm (and ideally bolt on to a mk3 GTI beam), or get 30mm hubs that are 4x100 and modify the beam or use the adapters. This is beginning to drag out and I feel silly that I'm not getting the big picture. On a side note, I just received a set of front hubs that accept Audi 80 CV's to reduce the failures I've had on that end. Found a guy to machine them for me locally and they are sweet.
If you can make a plate to hold caliper carrier I would suggest getting 9n polo rear stub axle, it bolts to mk3 beam and would use the polo 6n2 hubs and bearings you already have. 9n stub axle 9n rear beam with integral caliper bracket, same on drum brakes model, just unused as backplate covers it. I cut this plate off the beam and machined it flat then drilled out the 4 threaded holes to bolt through. To create a caliper mount bracket behind the 9n stub axle, bolted to my mk2 beam. 6n2 hubs for 4 stud.
Just spotted this post on Fb today ( by: Rocco Fred ) Perfectly engineered mk1-2-3 rear stub axle to mk4 hubs and bearings are finally done and available! Proper offset, OEM Scirocco 16v and A2 A3 chassis brake component compatible. Will also be 100% compatible with our rear brake kits. Dual 4X100 M12 and 5X100 M14 bolt patterns integrated. Stub axle made out of 4140 heat treated billet steel. Life time warranty. Hubs and discs included, for hassle free bolt on application.
They look good @HPR, also shows the 5x100 hub can be redrilled to 4x100 without welding it up (did marina hubs for a Ford anglia years ago and was a pain) so that is hopeful for a vr6 front flange to 4 stud for 6 speed conversion plan.
Don't know the Kin-El enterprises reference, but it is to rich for me. If you generously figure $100/ea for rotors, and $75 for hubs, that makes those stubs about $325 a piece.
Hey everyone, would there be a recommended aftermarket supplier for caliper mount bracket? I have a mk2 and a 9n3 polo rear hubs I am trying to make work.
Believe epytec make them, and possibly creation motorsport, might be worth talking to Al at retrofication as he does a mk4 stub to caddy plate I seem to remember. Or cut the end off a polo arm and grind it flat.

Although it says for fitting s3 kit, the standard solid discs and calipers fit identically, reverse of what I did on the polo (solid to big vented)
