RR, you know you need them, no idea in denying it

....Barsturd son of a so-and-so!! Why did you have to post that!?

I suppose that if you need to ask how much they are, you can't afford them. No price on the linked page.

Wings (left and right) £640.00 (for a pair) These are 100mm wider than OEM, quote from Seibon uk.

When are they going to make Cupra ones

....I think you meant to write 10mm wider?

Would the Cupra / S3 control arms fit the ED30 without the TT ball joints purely on a weight saving basis?

Yes they will fit fine using the standard ED30/GTi balljoint, well worth it for the weight saving and they also seem to give a little extra negative camber over the standard arms due to the slightly wider front track width they give 
Cupra arms are around £88 from the dealer

...........Cupra arms are quite a bit cheaper than TT arms.  Not sure why?

As previously stated, £350 for the full kit.  This includes a % towards the forum (about £10 as agreed with Mr P), I can get the bits - You order today, you get in 3 days.

I think the difference in costs between the Seat arms and the TT arms is the extra machining required to take the TT ball joint.

I would like to do a GB for the forum, for forum users.  i have a good 'in' to the whole VW Trade system, and can do any parts. Not looking to make a living, but it may just pay for the forum.

....Nice one, D  

I can confirm early next week after I've worked out my shorter term financial commitments. I've got other stuff on order right now and needing doing (bonnet catch problem to solve, therefore AeroCatches) and was expecting not to buy the TT arms for 2-3 weeks.

Is this GB dependent on a minimum number of orders?

Calling the Trade contact i have tomorrow, any orders?  I can get any VAG part you require, however the postage on larger items would be the sticking point.
