[s-cars] 4 lug to 5 lug conversion?

[Brandon Hull]

you need the S2 hubs and new rotors.  You have to replace wheel bearings of course.  Otherwise it is not a big deal.  Well let me qualify that:  This is all that is required for the CQ.  the 20v 90 sedan may not be as simple since I suspect the strut assembly is different since a CQ-to-90 G60 brake conversion is not straightforward.  The www.20v.org site would clarify.

It is was a nice conversion when I did it 3 years back, and even nicer now because of the proliferation of aftermarket and factory wheel options.  I wish I'd gotten in on the 17x8 Avus group purchase a while back, they look great on the CQ.

	Brandon Hull followed in the footsteps of Dean Treadway to convert a Coupe quattro to ersatz S2 specs. The web page describing this is http://20v.org/s2/. Tom Vandervoort has continued the tradition; there may be others since. This page doesn't describe it, but I'm almost certain that Brandon has completed the 5/112 conversion.

	Chris Miller recently did some non-elective body work on his '91 200, and has upgraded to a Coupe quattro as his daily driver. Rumor had it that he is thinking about getting ready to start planning on making lists of things he needs to do to prepare for planning both a 3B and 5/112 upgrade to his CQ. He is further rumored to have the parts in hand to do the 5/112 conversion, and may be able to provide a parts list.

	HTH.

	I think a couple of the guys doing S2 conversions have done this.

	No, not at all.  Rotors, hubs, perhaps suspension parts, maybe brake
	calipers.  And of course, wheels.
