aluminium / alloy s3 wishbones fitted

[tony_danza]

Ahh - well I'll see what the TT ones cost and decide if its worth getting them, or S3 ones and some Whiteline MaxC topmounts and do it that way.

The more you can get on the bottom arm the better really mate.. If you wind a load of camber on the top mount that alters the geometry such that the roll centre will drop a good amount (more than you would think) and you end up making the whole front end softer in roll..

The only downside is that you loose clearance from the inside top of the wheel to the strut.. But thats probably not a problem unless your trying to fit huge wheels/tyres in there..

Sweet. There's no problems with my wheels then I'm sure.

Off shopping for TT arms it is then!

if briskoda. comes back online any time soon, i hav the part numbers including all bolts etc reqd for the work.

[davo01]

would the walk kit still fit with tt/s3 bottom arms as ive read that the rear bushes are bigger on them?

0.5 more neg camber interests me

[Janner_Sy]

yes they will. bush isnt fitter on the s3, just stiffer, but not as stiff as the walkn  bush

fitted my s3 alloy wishbones and s3 bushes today, couldnt beleve how heavy the standard gti wishbones were


gti = 4100 grams each

s3 = 2290 grams each

How long / How much is fitting of these? I take it the suspension has to be realigned afterwards.
Might consider having it at the same time as a WALK.

re these the same regarding camber adjustment??

"
8J0 407 151 D is the number I´ve looked for now. It is this arm for a Audi TT and it costs 133,28 Euro each.
On the picture it is together with the "Lagerbock" 8J0 199 231 and they cost each 43,14 Euro.
 
I´ve looked at a Audi TT from 2008."

Are these the part nos required for a complete TT wishbone conversion? Anyone have the part nos for the alloy hubs too??

Mike.

[Janner_Sy]

Ace, I'm shopping tomorrow but will check to see if I can use the Whiteline flipped balljoints or not to go with them.

Will price up the 'Rocco rear kit too.

Jonny mentioned the alloy S3 hubs too, does anyone know if these will go on a 2WD, or if the 2WD TT has the same alloy hubs???

[BMX]

got the alignment done at vw  the front camber has changed from -0.45 with gti arms and is now -1.44 is that more negy or less?

[tony_danza]

That'll be more neggy, nice middle of the road amount too

Use the TT FWD hubs

Ace, I've given a mate a reg no of a FWD TT and the process is underway.
