   Is it worth getting a 3 to 4 stud conversion? Any idea of cost / how difficult it is to do?
   
   Or would it be better to get some nice 3 stud.. ive tried for over a month now and not found any :@.. I know with 4 stud there is a lot more choice, but would the cost of the conversion be worth it?

   depends what you are looking for mate. if you want to convert to a full 4stud set up then the best things you need are
   
   VT struts(£10-30)
   VTwishbones(£10-30)
   VT anti-roll bar & drop links(£20)
   then wither a 4stud drum beam or a VT disc beam(£100-300)
   
   all parts can be picked up second hand for the approx prices in the brackets
