I'm just building up this conversion for myself and have fitted brand new standard GTI bearings.  Straight fit into the hubs and a direct like for like replacement with the old ones I removed.

Hope this helps.

No problem!  Can't wait to get mine on to compliment the S3 wishbones I've fitted previously - the weight reduction (unsprung) of the wishbones really helped the ride quality of my DSG GTI so I'm hoping for a further improvement with the hubs.

Will also be fitting VWR springs and Bilstein B8s at the same time as part of a refresh of my 80k original suspension.

Sounds good to me mate ive got the wishbones and the hubs also got s3 brakes aswel so that adds the weight back on lol some lighter wheels helps aswel ive got pro race 1.2s i noticed a big difference with them :happy2:
