Mk5 to mk6

[horizon]

I have done a search but couldn't find anything specific.

 

I currently have a mk5 track car which is rusty so thinking of re-shelling into a mk6. I would like to re-use as much as I can so:

 

Can I take the rear disk beam off the mk5 and put on the mk6 including cables etc?

 

Can I transfer the front mtx75 based subframe, I am thinking that I could then retain my mk5 suspension and change the top hats

yes mate you can use the rear beam,its a common conversion for mk6's

 

as far as i know the only difference in the subframe is a extra gearbox mount on the underside of the subframe,but you can definately use it,but it wont make a difference in using suspension,you can use mk5 suspension on the mk6 subframe as you said you'll have to change the top hats,also there's something slightly different with the antiroll bar/brake pipe bracket on the mk5 leg to the mk6,if you search mk5 and then mk6 on ebay you'll se what i mean.

Thanks for the reply, I think using the mk5 subframe, it will use the mk5 anti roll bar so hopefully the issue with drop links goes away.
