    Hey there people,

    As some of you may know, I’ve a big turbo 1.8t mk1 caddy. I want to go down the route of awd over winter, I’ve been looking at Quattro rear subframes. What would be best for me... an A3 or TT or 4motion etc?? Or are there other alternatives? I know rallye beam’s are like hens teeth

    Thanks

    can go with anything really, as whatever you choose its going to need a load of custom work. mate of mine has done an r32 caddy with full haldex running gear for example, including mk4 dash but abs etc deleted. so the world is your oyster!
