wouldnt changing the front struts for a five stud conversion alter the geometry?

Umm, no because you don't change the struts, you just change the hubs over, they fit into the GTE struts

I know Cav Turbo kit fits (just ask Jacko) but as for the V6 stuff, ask AntB for details on that.

There was a list up on the old forum about what bearings will fit the GTE hubs, anyone help with this?

There are 2 different sizes of Cav and Cally turbo ones.....

I ordered a bearing twice for my Calibra turbo and it was one of them that was split by the chassis numbers, so be careful. I ended up destroying an entire suspension leg under a 50 tonne press.....I fecking will go in.....only to realise that it was 2mm too big.

Well I just thought it was a tight fit... laughing

Could always ask a friendly local spares centre, they can cross check against the V6 kit against the bearing for the GTE
