Think you need the hubs and possibly the track rod end :undecided:

You can get the early TT cast versions that have a provision for the standard drop links, they still need tapping out to accept the bolt first though. These will fit straight on the Golf with no need for the hubs/track rod ends (I've got them on mine)

312mm discs are all the same mate (TT, S3, Anni etc)

Why are you replacing them? If it's due to the bushes you can just upgrade these with TT / LCR ones?
