i was wondering who knows what rear axles fit the polo with no or least hassle? ie to fit rear discs rather than drums.
ive heard the mk3 golf gti does but not sure on hassle etc
any help would be appreciated
cheers

Seat Ibiza 2 litre cupra axle is what iv got on my polio straight fit as i got handbrake cables with it, you would need the ones from the Seat, i got the whole lot off ebay posted for £100 if i remember right around about there anyway,
Hope this helps

not great pics of it but it shows kinda that its the same haha.
only differences i seen were the Seat one has a tortion bar in the middle and my polo one didnt but didnt afferct it and Seat had abs cables but i just tiestraped them on could have cut them off but thought uf i rote it iff would be easyer to sell axle haha.
