Having just had the suspension re-done in my A2 I think I can tell you. I ordered my parts from here are well.
A2/A3 Rear Upper Shock Bushing Set, Rear Bump Stop * 2, and Rear Dust Cover *2 should do it.

14x6 will work for sure, same size as GTI Snowflakes. Cabrio had the same 4x100 lug bolt pattern as the rabbits. That just leaves the offset which I can't imagine would be different enough to matter.

Wow! Cool!
Is this Subaru's First Diesel I wonder? I don't know if I'd want to be first in line for it. Not that I'd have a chance to be (No official word on North American / U.S. Availability, as per usual) or give up my VW TD either :lol:

Or you can go to 10.1" Vented "Big" Brakes. Get the spindles, calipers, carriers, discs, master cylinder, and proportioning valves from an MKII Scirocco 16V. While you are at it.... get the rear discs off the rocco too... they are a direct bolt up for the MkI Rabbit, except for the eb...

WTB: IDI TD IP Vacuum and return bits for LDA.

Might Need TD IP Fittings and return line. I sent a core to Giles to have it re-done but it is setup as an ATM not an LDA. My Eco has neither. Looking to see if anyone has the fittings for the LDA for the intake vacuum line, return line banjo bolt, and air vent. Waiting to see if Giles has extras fo...

It is an easy conversion, completely bolt in. I put a 91 Eco 1.6 TD Engine into an 89 Gasser Jetta Carat. It took just over a month working on it on weekends mostly. I had a complete 91 Jetta EcoDiesel as a donor. I swapped everything, the engine, wiring harness, fuel tank, lines, etc. I wanted to g...
