S3 - N 910 849 01 = M14x1, 50x55   would 2 off these bolts be required then one for each side?

vs

GTI - N 909 488 02 = M14x1, 50x35

Also what else would be required to change to s3 hubs & wishbones?

thanks

If it's not broke, Mod it.....

cheers mate !!

Yes, "wider" nuts with the washers built in. Bear in mind stock GTI nuts also are 'collar type',
but S3 ones have a wider collar.

Yes, your current bearings still fit.
