@shannon-ob Thanks for confirming - my rears have clearanced themselves - front still rubs, but only on hard cornering - so still hopeful for some H&R's to sort out body roll - or just lift the coils up.
How much body work do you need to chop out for BTCC arches?

@LC5F I did think about letting mine clearance themselves when I had the 8J wheels, but when I went to 9J there would be no chance. I'm surprised that your fronts rub...
I'm not entirely sure until I buy the kit. Hopefully enough that I won't get any more rubbing issues.

its the R32 TT alloy arms pushing the wheel out further.
Good luck with the bodywork on yours

Extra length plus adjustable balljoints so, yep, extra camber.

Thanks for your help I’ll stop jamming up this thread I may have to invest in a pair. Could someone pm me part numbers?

If you do some searching on this site, there’s parts numbers in one thread.

You guys have been busy! - No worries, the ones I got are 8J0407151D, only £35 a side so its not an expensive upgrade:



I went with Lemforder TT ball joints, the 3 bolt cage connecting joint to control arm seems to be surprisingly expensive and is not provided with ball joint. Ended up with anti loosening high tensile nuts and bolts

Do you have part number/links to the ball joints and nuts & bolts? Thanks

I just looked up a M2 Audi TT R32 on ECP and it gave me 617443285 & 617443295
Nuts, bolts & washers I sourced from ebay, items I got are no longer listed - they need to be high tensile 10.9 M10 40mm (40 is a touch too long 35mm should be about right) with high tensile (if possible nyloc) nuts to suit.

In other random news, tonight I spotted this fubar'd Maserati, it makes the rust on the underside of my golf seem amateurish!
The good:

The bad:

And the ugly:

Thanks. I assume carparts4less is exactly the same? With current sale it’s about half price compared to ECP.
