NEW: RS3 / TT upper strut mount + brake ventilation element

[the bruce]

Are they on an 06 gti?

Not on any Golf, Jake. 

Sorry Mike, I possibly didn't get your situation completely

 .

[Tfsi_Mike]

I am fitting the mounts as part of servicing. It seams my mounts are already the same?

[BigD]

Apologies for ressurecting an old thread but will these fit the standard GT/GTI lower control arm? I see it has already been asked but the answer wasnt too clear...

Anyone tried it?

RS3 or TTRS Spacer 'tube' required?

TIA

Regards

Dave

For S3/Cupra arms go for the RS3 'tube'.

[the bruce]

YES

Some slight modification to the plastic shield required.
If you have a second nut you don't need the alloy spacer tube at all.

[BigD]

Thanks for that, so use a lock nut instead of a spacer tube.

Some slight modification of the plastic shield? Hack saw trim job?

TIA

I did not do this my self, I have alloy arms. I remember some guys have told
about slight cutting with a knife, but not really shure on this.

Guys, did any of you test the RS3/TT brake ventilation elements?
From the pictures I can see that the air is directed upwards. Are these elements also directing the air towards the brakes also?

[Tfsi_Mike]

the Bruce did 

[rex]

OK, than I will wait for the bruce's feedback.

Meanwhile... can you guys please tell me if we need both the vent and the dust cover?
From the picture below I think we only need the vent. Where is the dust cover?

When I ordered the parts for Holger 'The Bruce' I only oredered / recieved the parts in your picture there ^ Vlad.  Also ordered the top mounts

You don't need the RS3 dust shields (for 370 mm rotors), but it's a nice basis for some DIY work
to protect the ball joints from heat.





The air flow under the front is some kind of a 'V'-shape from the center to the wheels on almost
all street cars. On the sides of a car there are low pressure areas. That's why the airflow inside
the wheels is allways from inside to outside.

This element focusses this air flow directly to the brakes.

Holger, you're forgetting your manners: Where's the ETKA number for the rest of us?
