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

[RedRobin]

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.

....Tomorrow too soon for me to know - I don't want to muck you about. I should know how my cashflow is later in the week.

Happy with that RR, just an opportune time to ask, let me know as and when you are ready, as stated the offer is not down to any numbers, just the deal I can get at any time, on any part.

i tell you what RR, your car will be excellent then. 

all thats left to do is to fit aluminium hubs, and poly bush the front and rear completely.  In fact sayng that, im suprised you haven't poly bushed everything already.

....The polybushing hasn't been ignored. I've been waiting for something new in the pipeline - I need to check if it's still going to happen. Thanks for the reminder.

do tell RR, secrets aren't allowed on here

do tell RR, secrets aren't allowed on here

I absolutely can't.... Not yet, anyhow.

[RedRobin]

robin they are a direct fit to your car, ask Jonny cos he had these on his ed 30.  You will need everything pon that list of parts though.

i remember reading somewhere that jonnyC used both the tt arms and top mounts, as it made the cars roll centre better.  im not to offay with roll centres, all i know that if the roll centre is out the handling will become worse.  

maybe someone like JC or tonydanza could explain the ins and outs of roll centres on cars

....I just had a txt message from Jonny and he seems to be confirming what you have already suggested. Easier just to post his txt:

"...I would say TT bottom arms would be perfect really, [referring to my car] keeps the roll centre close to standard and would give you another 0.5 degrees, which if your saying you don't wana compromise tyre wear is about enough.. Also there ally so lowers unsprung weight.. Ahh sounds good."

"You will need the toes checking on the front end too when there installed.. Presume that VWR are doing them anyways so no worries.."

A bit of a no-brainer for me then. I can stay at the same ride height which is very schweet handling, solve my occasional arch rubbing, and feel other benefits on trackdays. It's just me the driver who needs further 'modifying' now - More in-car tuition.

I am very tempted by these as the Mk6 has some real poverty spec press steel arms 

Is there any point in getting the WALK kit if you're adding these???

Also I presume while your replacing them it's a good time to poly bush the arm's too???

[Janner_Sy]

yes because the walk will give you additional caster which stiffens up the steering as well as providing dynamic camber upon cornering.  the TT arms would give you the negative camber to enhance the setup further.  id say you may as well change the bushes as well for the little oulay they are in comparison

so ho has ordered them then??? anyone have them fitted yet

so ho has ordered them then??? anyone have them fitted yet

mine are getting fitted this saturday, along with tt balljoints, 4X S3 hubs (thx Stokeballoon  ), wavetrac Lsd, sachs uprated clutchpack 

[animal]

Without wanting to confuse things further still - out of interest, what does the R32 use? It's has S3 brakes, but is a Golf not an S3/TT...?

[Janner_Sy]

Id say it was exactly the same as the S3 and cupra. it would likely have the non adjustable aluminium lower arms,
