8.5 to 9 is about right.  If you run TT arms on stock hubs.  It drops back to around 8 if you fit the TT arms and hubs together.

The walk with the tt setup seems to add more.

Jake, can you measure the arms from the ball joints too.  TT one with the ball joint all the way in and out.

The driveshafts could be a minefield Jake, there are several different part numbers for them on etka.

There are some rear hubs from a fwd TT available though if they are of interest to you?

Just had a look at measuring the TT arms, as you have the s3 and GTI arms as well its probably best that you measure them all so there is consistency. As the point of measuring is to directly compare them etc.

I'm up for the rear hubs.

I've also got another set of TT hubs and wishbones!

I have this nagging idea that they are a little bit longer than the ones fitted to the GTI, just an idea nothing concrete i'm afraid  :smiley:

Would these by suitable ?

My Ed30 has just over 110k, I reckon those rubber bushes must be tired by now, might as well change to something that improves handling too.

^^^^ For that price i'd get genuine Cupra R/S3 alloy arms from Dave@Sere motors in Belfast.  Email - hawthornedb@yahoo.co.uk

I bought off him last year @ £83.53 each  :happy2:

Part numbers 1K0 407 151 B
                    1K0 407 152 B

Then jump on the group buy and get Superpro adjustable ball joints

The Cupra R and S3 wishbones don't give the extra negative camber?
Only the TT and Morego ones do I believe. Otherwise a great idea.
