I'm looking for a kit at the moment that's a lot cheaper then the Tyrol sport kit.
Must be worth a try I might have to purchase this kit and give it ago.

I'd be up for a set.  See if we can get a group order and split the shipping costs coz Awesome don't show it on their site.

By the time you've messed about paying shipping and import duty then it won't be such a good deal.

Tyrol kit is 85 quid from aks tuning.

Think that's for the rear kit mate, the front one is £200+

I spoke to Awesome about this kit earlier on - Without asking them about a group buy they said it's available for £112.01 delivered but it won't be until next month that I receive the kit. 

It's not available any earlier as they have a monthly ordering system with them and we've missed this months cut off.

If anybody wants to speak to them and discuss a possible GB then go for it and let us know!  :happy2:

Interested..... Have had clunking since the last time I had the subframe off that even an extra 1/4 turn on the bolts won't fully eradicate

I think with the numbers involved and relatively small amount for the kit, we're better off letting Awesome handle the shipping and import duties.   Been there before in the past managing GBs from America and it can be a right pain.

I didn't know they sold them as their online catalogue of ECS stuff isn't complete, but good to know they can get them in.

I wonder if VW going back to steel subframes and MK2 Golf style rear wishbone bushes on the MK7 has anything to do with the MK5's problems with these parts  :grin:

Had the Tyrol Sport fronts on mine for a couple of years now and the transformation was superb. Tightened the front end up and made a very noticeable.

Tempted to get the rear kit to see what that does to the handling.
