hi was wondering if anyone can help. im gonna be purchasing cav turbo alloys soon and i know i have to get v6 brakes on the front, would my 1.2 8v shafts fit into the v6 hubs? and the rear disc conversion would have to be 5 stud so was wondering what id need to do it?

You would need V6 front hubs but they are large and yours atm are small so it won't work mate unless you have a 2.0 or a V6 with the large drive shafts to accompany the large outer cv joints to fit the large V6 outer hubs, to fit your V6 brakes, so unless your going to do this theirs no reason to do the 5 stud rear hub conversion. But you would need the V6 rear hubs and the conversion plates and cables to suit but don't know which ones.

Yes but you can always fit the V6 brakes but drill calipers to 4stud setup, but the caliper to wheel clearance will be very small.
