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:

I'm pretty sure the TT droplinks are attached to the hubs/struts, and not off the wishbone as per Golf  :wink:

Very interesting! Would be a real PITA changing those suckers over then!

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.

mines started givin a knocking noise on the drivers side today, got em from ebay about 5 months ago, passenger side seems fine though

wouldnt it be better and cheaper to get some powerflex bushes pressed in?
