I have a complete 5-bolt (5x100) suspension from a 95 Passat GLX, with the BBS ALLOYS the the GLX enjoys. The GLX has a much "fatter" front half-shafts, so I wonder about splines are they different? The struts would be the same, of course I could swap the 1/2 shafts also.

On the rears, I can't believe VW would use a different spindle, so this swap would be 1:1??

If you have done this give me a holler, I don';t plan to do this until my 4-bolt (4x100) rubber is gone (6-months) at least!
