Hi,

Great question! The simple answer is no, none of the components between a Beetle front suspension and a Bus will interchange. Everything about the Bus is larger.

My question to you is why would you want to do that anyway? So. Cal. Imports offers more disc kit conversions than anyone else and they are really affordable! We just introduced six new kits that convert later cars to the older 5 x 205 mm lug pattern. If you want, get back with me on what lug pattern you want and I will help you find the right kit for your project!

Thanks,

Andy
