So they're £500...

Superpro adjustable ball joints - £160
Anti Lift kit - £200 let's say

So you're still £140 cheaper than the arms. And do you really notice the weight difference?

Think the geometry is different on the arms

Arms are identical to the S3/Cupra alloy arms.

Superpro ball joints and ALK both retail at 167.99.  Plus the small front bush at around 45 quids.

If you add up everything and then add on the cupra arms, it's loads more expensive.
