You could also add Superpro ball joints aswell to allow you to run abit more camber. This is what I'm planning sometime this year along with the S3 alloy arms. I already have the Superpro Anti Lift kit fitted.

Yes the Super pro Ball joints are a forthcoming upgrade for me too. The extra camber will mean I can run a more aggressive fitment.
I have the solid TT bushes in my consoles and they are very good. To be honest not having tried the WALK kit I can't really compare but price per £ upgrade the TT console bushes on their own would make a huge difference.

The biggest problem with a Mk5 in my opinion is how sensitive it is to Camber changes so I would hope the WALK kit can help that ... but hey.

Walk has nothing to do with camber jay.

Are these the part numbers of the alloy control arms (1K0 407 151/152 AK) or do they do a cast version also?

Bit late but I know that
But I meant if it would resist against the camber steer the mk5 suffers from..

Can anyone give more detail on the geo set up for fast road as I have a bilstein b12 kit, WALK and RARB all to go in at the same time, and was gonna get full Geo setup reset to factory spec, but if anyone knows what's better please let me know as I'd rather get it done once !
