   youll need a vts rear beam for discs all around
   abs would also be handy.

   You could get away with running the drums on the back. If i were you though, i'd upgrade the front brakes.

   Dont need it, imo if your going to do it may as well get some decent suspension and brakes rather than standard vts stuff. The only thing id use off a vts is the front arb setup tbh

   as wicked-vtr said, if your buying new suspension/brakes dont just fit second hand vts stuff might as well spend a couple hundred on a budget apex suspension kit, and a 206 gti brake set up, and yea the only second hand parts id use would be the vts arb and wishbones with new/upgraded bushes, along with a set of new drop links
   
   can get away with the drum rear beam, there are positives and negatives to both beams

    DO NOT fit abs.
    
    You could buy a VTS for less than you could do the conversion tbh.
