i know there is many threads about this but is there anyway that i could conver a 3stude saxo into a 4 stud without replacing the whole rear beam or front struts. i didnt really want major work on it.

no dont think so, you are best getting a new rear beam and frotn legs and doing a swap

You can change just the rear hubs.
The front hubs are easy to drop out.
But usually the rear is sold as a whole cos it's easier to remove.

if u really wanted u could get adaptors made to mate the hub to a four stud but then the wheels will stick out

beam and struts seems to be the easiest option, i have the same problem and im looking into this.

plus its a bit more security than bodging it with some dodgy adaptors or the hubs.

plus, less bits=less work, just swap them over.

Ive seen these on ebay before and they arent cheap, buy it now price was like £100. Many people believe these to be potentially dangerous.

You're much better saving a bit extra and changing the components properly. :y:

Id probably wait then if you're thinking of getting a VTS. Its not worth the hassle of changing over and buying new 4 stud alloys etc.

Put the money towards the VTS and go from there :y:

Ive done all this conversion work on mine but im planning on keeping the car for many years to come
