Hi, posted this on the other site and no answer.
I was about to buy a new set of rotors from a friend that sells VW stuff for $360.00 the pair which includes all new bearings, spindle nut and cover. I'm in need of a set since my 5x130 was a conversion and studs wiggle, NO BUENO and a bit thin. I find the price reasonable since if I were to order them from CB, just in shipping would be alot since I'm frpm Puerto Rico.
Will they fit my stock spindle? Just don't want to throw $360.00 away. I called CB yesterday but...guess what, they were closed.
Does CB Performance 4182 front rotor fit OEM spindle?

Re: Does CB Performance 4182 front rotor fit OEM spindle?
That is a nice alloy hub with a bolt on rotor. I have a set. You can but just the rotors... I don't know what the replaceable rotors originally fit. Make sure you get a left and a right.
They only fit ball joint spindles, but you may find the studs too short. CB can fix that buying new.
Note that you can get 14mm studs in many lengths and knurled area sizes to fix your existing loose stud issue.. I usually hit them with a bit of Tig braze on the backside. (on iron hubs, if steel just 2 good tack welds)
I bought the a set for my 914 because they are solid billet 6061T6 hubs with a 4.5" bolt pattern on the back, and will be getting much larger vented rotors or whatever adapter I need, (next project, size TBD, may use 911 rotors, many options.
Note they are NOT "bolt on (but usable with spacers) for a late 914 due to the rotor offset, but are bolt on to Ghias, and T3s (late T3s may need spacers) all use balljoint spindles.) My 73 square has Wilwood Superlites with 8x7 rotors on slightly modified T3 spindles and turned down hubs (ex stock rotor)...so I cannot test fit on that car.
The CB 4182s usually run >$550/pair for the hubs and rotors.

Addendum to Newtons first law:
zero vehicles on jackstands, square gets a fresh 090 and 1911, cabby gets a blower.
EZ3.6 Vanagon after that.(mounted, needs everything finished) then Creamsicle.
