Hi guys I wonder if you can help me here ?
Im going over to 205mm stud patten from 130mm . Ive got a pair of CB King & Link dropped spindles which run late vw post 66 discs with stock calipers .
Ive seen quite a few front disc conversions for wide five all loads of $$ ,
 Are any of these discs that come with these kits transferable to use on late spindles and calipers ?
I don't want to run with a pair of those awfull 4 to 5 stud adaptors .
Just thought it would be cool if I could get some new discs to fit what I've got here .
Any input greatfully recived , Cheers glenn .

UR looking at serious $$$$$$$$ -- -- Lummus is hangling some out of his shop -- I bolted a set of EMPI 205 disc set to my 66 pan -- never had a problem with them but they are Heavy -- -- Most people now are going to the Chevy bold patern for their HP stuff because of the aftermarket wheels that are more commonly available

 I think you'll need to change your spindles as well, Empi do a kit for 5 x 205 but they use there own spindles and i think the CSP kit uses link pin drum dropped spindles but if Gunter could confirm this and the CB kit doesn't work with dropped spindles Grin

Ive come to the same conclution myself , i think i'm gonna re-install my old spindles and drum brakes for the mo and start saving for a kit , only which one ?
Would be nice to have dropped spindles again ( better ride quality ) with a stock offset /displacement to save me having to narrow the beam  Cool
