Walk anti lift kit
« on: 13 April 2011, 06:39 »
Been enquiring yesterday from the local vw tuning specialist about getting the walk kit fitted to the mk6 and rear engine mount fitted, he came back to me a couple of hrs later and said that there isn't any in the country till the end of May :cry: (the walk kits that is)  Anyone know any different ? am i right in thinking that they are different to the mk5 ones ?

Thanx in advance guys  :wink: whoops n Gals  :smiley:

You sure?
I thought Steve P had tried to fit a Mk5 WALK and the lower arms are different, and the bush sits at a different angle on the Mk6 and it wouldn't fit?

I'm sure that's the case because I cancelled buying a WALK because of reading that.

Here's an alternative to the WALK: -

Lots of debate if the housing are meant to be the same or not, I think the SuperPro option is slightly better  :smiley:

Hi Neil, That is correct they do make a major improvement! Engine mounting bush - £35.99 (Neuspeed Bush)Labour to install - £33.00 Anti Lift Kit - £168.59Labour to install - £66.00 GEO MAY not be needed after but if it does we can carry out a full GEO checkand re-set for £118.80 inc VAT. Hope this helps! :) Kind Regards Mike - Awesome GTI Store
