I'd suggest you either need to go full-wide-track, or keep it all narrow-track.

Don't think the subframe affects this - it's just the control arms and associated bits from one or t'other.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

the ball joints will physically fit. youll want the longer mk3 driveshafts too if your using the mk3 wishbones. i think the subframe wont make any difference on what one you use, im sure its just the wishbones that are different
i think i love you.....

The subframe won't make any difference, especially as when I last checked the G3 TDI outside my house was narrow-track! :grin:

Control arms, balljoints, hubs, steering rack and arms required.
