I had super pro before I upgraded to custom tubular wishbones - I don't know of any other mk4 owner to have gone down this route. But the super pro were a good upgrade from standard - less flex and slop; for most people super pro would suffice.

What is the reason for you changing your wishbones? As mentioned it would be easier and mroe cost effective to change the bushes if they need changing as opposed to buying a standard wishbone with standard bushes.

Not the ball joint. I was referring to the bushes on the wishbones. Super pro is the name of a manucturer of uprated bushings. You can find a garage to fit them for you.
