I just bought front wishbones and ball joints off ebay for £40 delivered and they fit perfect but only time will tell how long they last.

Are these off a TT?  I think you need to change hubs and ARB/drop links to fit these to a Golf........  :undecided:

I think the best ones to get are the cast oem ones that are fitted on the tt,r32 and lcr. I always thought they where a straight swap ???

Perhaps you have to change the hubs etc if are running the hub sizes that the 1.4/1.6s run? The 1.8T are the same size aren't they, just smaller disks? :undecided:

Forgot to say I'm in the process of a 1.4-1.8t swap , when I get some cast ones myself I'll check to see if they fit on the old 1.4 setup.
