The Project Pad

hello

did any body ever used a4 b6 3.0 suspension and drive line parts on coupe quattro

I have my old a4 b6 3.o sitting around and im planing to part it out and wanted to see if i can use some of the parts for my coupe build. Any knowledge greatly appreciated

parts considerate
5 lug hubs
axles
rear diff
brakes
front complete suspension swap? crazy or stupid idea
vacuum brake boster
engine sensors?

Good call.

With the hubs, you'd want to consider the offset and the spline count.

It's possible the axles would work but you'd want to check the overall length and the spline count as well.

Not sure on the rear diff, did it come with the long or short snout? Assuming 4.11 final drive, of course.

Vac brake booster might be too big to fit, but worth mocking up to try.

do you know any other way to upgrade the rear diff on the b3 chassis to hold up a lot of power and abuse?

also it the whole swap worth it? it only crossed my mind since i have a donor car sitting in my driveway

im tryinng to map a plan for a wide body coupe with 750-800+ whp and just going thru option now

thanks

What about a Wavetrac with high strength axles?

034 was the easiest link to find btw

They hold that power in stock form, look at speeding-g60's drag car...he's breaking them, but full launches on a prepped track with slicks....a street/track car should be fine...

Yeah, most people run the stock rear diff with no problems.

And if you run into issues down the road, it's easy enough to replace if/when you get to that point.

ok great good to know

but still stronger axles are must

Depends on how you launch it...

Again, easy to replace if/when.

I'd focus on the other stuff first, personally.

the other stuff is figured out mostly just waiting for warmer weather to start taking the coupe apart and start building the chassis
