cant see why not tbh.  they fit the vRS and as far as i know the vRS TDI shares the same suspension as the vRS TFSI.  might be worth checking the part numbers on etka for the tdi and tfsi lower control arms

That is what I thought too. Does anyone have access to etka to check?
Might be interested if it does fit.

Right, having seen a set of TT arms up close, you will need to buy the TT Ball joints too, as the camber adjustment is in the Ball joints.

The ball joints are bolted to the Lower wishbones.

First post is now amended.

the difference is the elongated holes in the ball joints.   if your std cupra arms are identical to the tt lower arms it could be a direct swap.  

this is the TT arm lower control arm number 8J0 407 151 D(same part number for each side).  

get someone with etka to see what the part# is for the cupra ones

post#3 shows al the parts required. the only extra youi would need if your arms are the same would be the bolts, the ball joints and the ball joint locking plates

so you just need 6 standard nuts and bolts to fix them together?

and the lock plate.    but you need to confirm that your lower arms are the same. if not the holes might not line up correctly

that last link i posted has the the part#'s for all the kit required

I think we may have stumbled on a cheap way of adding camber to the Cupra/S3.  Just add TT balljoints and lock plates.

The P/N's are the same!  So should fit!

I can do the ball joints, bolts and lock plates separately........................... Will come up with a quote too!

@ STOKEBALLOON ~ superb, if you can get prices for me mate that would be great.  As VRSY says i will need to double check P/N's but i am nearlt positive that the arms are the same on cupra/s3.

@ VRSY yeah mate i will do, looks like this could work out a cracking mod for well under £100

cheers chaps

tried to post a note on the seat forum but it got deleted as it was apparently a group buy, even although it was just a note pointing them to this thread :sad1:
