I agree Robin but i think the Superpro lower arms can only be bought with their ALK bushes. but i guess you could then sell these on seperately.

....In which case, one might as well sell on the WALK's and use the whole SuperPro kit as designed (and also avoid any potential warranty issues). Not that I feel any need to spend more money on my car's handling which I find much more than adequate.

That's your best bet Robin.  Use the whole Superpro kit.

I think the inner part of the ALK is bonded to the arms.

Still not seen a pic of the camber plates.

Could do another group buy at 20% off for 5 people or more?

Why not just get for example the Whiteline WALK kit and Passat arms?


....Surely the SuperPro kit would be more reliable and guaranteed to fit because it's actually designed and made to fit the Mk5 Golf.

Also what's the weight of the passat arms? I thought the whole point of the superpro arms was that they were significantly lighter ??

....Hmm, I'm not convinced that they would be such a fantastic addition to my particular car and the suspension and handling mods it already has. Plus my financial circumstances have changed and I can no longer afford trackdays. That doesn't mean that I wouldn't benefit from them on the road as a car doesn't actually know whether it's on road or track, but I always try to drive within both my car's and my own limits.

So to help others who might be considering this mod, just what are the benefits?

And also what benefits to my car which has WALK (which would be replaced), KW-V3 coilovers, Eibach ARB's, UNIbrace XB & UB, AP brakes, Quaife diff, VWR engine mounts, and SuperPro rear bushes?

Are you guys sure the fancy polished ones are made in Australia, and not just Polished Passat arms ;)
