Yes they do. You will also need longer caliper bolts and collared nuts for tie rods / ball joints

Thanks. I'm running TTRS calipers with 340mm TTS discs. I'll be replacing ball joints for new. Do I buy passat ball joints?

Thanks :happy2:

I think you can reuse the existing ball joints however I had the Superpro ones fitted at the same time for extra camber and corrected roll centre for lowered suspension. Wheel alignments are pretty pricey so may as well get as much work out of the way at the same time.
