I think it you get it all as a oner then it would be good yes. The cast wishbones require the hub it came off, ie you cannot fit it to the ones you have at the mo I believe. People say the quick rack steering racks are a good one to do...

At a guess £125 tops?  :undecided:

you don't need the hubs  :wink:

You'll definitely need the ARB and if you want to use the S3 drop link setup you will need the shocks too

unless of course you've got the wishbones with the mount for the standard Golf drop links?

you'll need the shocks too then mate, if you use the S3 wishbones the standard drop links will have nowhere to bolt to so you will need to use the S3 versions which bolt to the shock

Got any pics of the parts your looking at?
