They are an oem upgrade. The bolt is used on many vag cars from factory. I'm sure its the same bolt that's been fitted to the a4's/passats etc for years.
I will check the strength rating of the bolt compared to the one it replaces.

....I only bought them because I thought they were better than on my 05-plate 06-plate car.
Thanks, Alex :drinking:

If your subframe doesn't and had never moved then there is no point in buying them. They are a different bolt with a good sized washer on them to spread the load and give more surface to hold, but still an oem bolt but from another car.

....Too late! I've bought them so I'll use them. Will be interesting to see how tight my existing bolts are. :happy2:

Re: WALK and SuperPro:
Apparently, SuperPro used to manufacture the bushes for the WALK - They no longer do. Also, the poly used by both companies is very similar. The cases of WALK insert failure (as Tsi_Mike's example) is about 1 in 500 and, of those, much more commonly in cars driven very hard or on track.
IF anyone experiences WALK bush failure, then the most economic solution (I don't know what WALK's warranty is like) is to buy the appropriate SuperPro bushes which will fit into your OEM consoles (of course you did keep them, didn't you!) and you won't lose any WALK features, so I'm told.
Here are some of Tsi_Mike's example pics:

Yes those WALK bushes were removed from my car. To be frank they hadn't had that much 'abuse' in terms of fast / hard cornering.
Perhaps the occasional contact with wheel cleaning product? Not sure.
