Superpro ALK v Whiteline ALK

[Mk5 GTian]

Anyone had both on the same car?

If so which is best and why?

Also, do you reckon it's cheaper to pay to have WALK removed off my old car, and old bushes refitted, and then have that same WALk fitted on my current car, OR just buy an new WALK or SALK and fit that straight on new car, leaving the WALK on the old car?

For the additional labour involved and tracking needed I would just get the SALK and fit that straight on to the new car.

Great, That's what I was thinking Bacillus. Thanks, but why the SALK and not the WALK?

I'm sure I read that the bushes split on the WALK, so some people (VRSAlex IIRC) have swapped them for the superpro bushes which have been more reliable

The whiteline bushes are prone to cracking. The superpro use a much higher quality bush which is bonded to the outer console.   The inner bush has a metal case which stops the bush splitting.

Great, thanks guys, does anyone sell the SALK on here? Best to do it when I do the B12 kit and NQSBBK in April I guess.

^^^ Alex sells them, drop him a PM, sure he'll sort you out

I have experience of this.  My new S-ALK looks better quality/made

Def speak to Alex - i got my SALK from him, I paid and the next day it arrived.
Also had a good chat on the phone with him at the time of paying - top guy.

I'm also running SALK which was supplied and fitted by Alex

I'm going to throw a spanner in the works here.

APR and Harding Performance in Australia had redesigned this very SALK kit. Different poly bush rating and also includes an adjustable lower ball joint offering a 2 degree camber adjustment.

This is what I'm running in my mk5 GTI. Great piece of kit, Heck even going from the WALK to the SALK was a great improvement.

I cant comment on the salk but the walk i can. Walk was great when it was new but now 10 months on its fooked.

My car is currently at statllers being fully polybushed and steve rang me to tell me that there was play in the walk kit. To say they have only been on the car 10 months and this has happened is a joke. I have contacted the supplier who sold me the kit and he has told me he will email them as he has not heard anything kike this before. I was sure that i had heard things like this happening before and now this thread has confirmed it.

Does anyone know if there is some sort of warranty with these or is it a case of not being able to warrant something like this because of wear and tear. Tbh it is an upgraded part so i would expect it to last longer than has done.

[Mk5 GTian]

Right, thanks guys! SALK it is then!

I'm in touch with Alex, and it's cheaper than WALK as well.
