too expensive for a disc axle lol
for that price+ new bearing it would be better to just get your axle recon.
before u ask where to recon the axle please search

That beam is £400 once delivery is added on.
Recon rear beam with a years warranty for hardly much more

If ssp are the people im thinking of then i dont have anything good to say.
Also try IMaxles, or rebuild it yourself providing the pins are okay.

it will left score mark on the stub.
9 out of 10 if you find there is play in the axle it is too late to do any repair work apart from putting a new stub pin on

Why? SSP did my axle about 18 months ago, still going strong and fitted by them.

Most SW's don't have rear discs though. If willing to remove stub axles they axle could be converted though.

I have an update i have contacted ssp and martin from there has said when you get an axle from them it comes with stub axles all i need to do in bolt on the discs and calipers
also he say that the gti 180 torsion bars are a pain to find the right ones for the car and it would be easyer for me to send mine to him and have it fully refurb £365 inc VAT + £40 p&p and it will take around 4 days
can any one else vouch for this company and personally i trhink this is a good deal what do you guys think
