Feeler thread - Group buy on Mk2 TT lower arms...................

[QD MBE]

As above, i have passed this by the Guvnor, and he is happy for a feeler thread to be started in this section.

Over the past week, I have been in dialogue with a VW Trade contact I have, for other parts, and I have been offered a decent price on full sets of MK2 TT front lower arms (alloy with an amount of camber adjustment), including all bolts, ball joints and locking plates.

I can do the full set including postage to you for £370, or if ypu want to collect £360.


As I say, just a feeler...........

Edit - The TT Ball joints are different than S3 and GTI versions.  The TT Ball joints are slotted to allow the camber adjust.

Depends on your timescales Dave, I want mine on and fitted before the Ring on the 20th. Workable?

Mike I reckon so, i can them in single sets, or any multiples.  I checked yesterday and they were available in the UK so should be fairly swift to be honest.

I will get them as soon as in, and they will be posted  the same day vis DHL/FedEx or RM whichever is best for the buyer.

Okay, cheers Dave - I'm waiting on my first point of enquiry coming back but that's a great deal. Will let you know.

For those of us that aren't so savvy with such things, what would these do for us?

Unsprung weight saving and at the same time a bit of camber adjustment as the holes for the lower ball joint is elongated, which means your center of gravity is'nt made worse as with top fitted camberplates, ( so i believe)

For those of us that aren't so savvy with such things, what would these do for us?

the ability to run an extra 0.5^o negaive camber wiull give a huge grip increase when cornering whilst ensuring that tyre wear wil not be compromised.  As well as this they are lighter in weight than the std ones, and being unsprung weight as well means even more benefit in the handling from the weight loss alone.

these would probably be on par with fitting an uprated rear arb to your car, so if you ran these with all the other suspension mods such as those ran by RR it would make a very capable car an absolute weapon

[owen lcr]

does anyone know if these can be fitted to the leon cupra, i though they were aluminium as standard, if not i might be very interested mate

[Janner_Sy]

yes they will fit no issues at all.  you are also correct that you have the aluminium control arms already as does te S3.  used to counteract the additional weight of the 345mm brakes.

however the ball joints are fixed and non adjustable.  the question is ould you need to renew the lot or just fit the TT ball joints.  ask Jonnyc think he had them fitted to both his Ed30 and S3

[owen lcr]

i see, hopefully he will be along to answer the question! 
cheers
