This is very interesting to see. That the TT control arm has a higher roll center than the stock A3 arm. I have seen that whiteline has roll center kits for Evo and Subaru. That is very nice that this feature is available from a OEM part. I am thinking this part is absolut necessary for any lowered car. The more you lower a car, the lower this roll center is and the more roll a car will have. So if I use the TT arm I can lower my car and it can still handle well. Wunderbar! The problem I have seen in Germany is people like to lower their cars 40-50mm! And they think the car still handles well. But they are wrong, they have more roll and the car understeers because the outside wheel is in positive camber in the turn because the control arm is already past horizontal.
Do you get wider front track when use these arms?

i believe so but not by to much. you are limited by the length of the drive shafts tbh. a few guys are looking into scirrocco alloy hubs for the lower rotating mass and wider track

Wow, we can have a real Frankenstein car then with all these different parts!

The thing you have to remember is you also need the hubs from the TT to put the ball joint lower and keep the wishbone as level as possible. I am currently running the TT wishbones with the standard hubs and the wishbone is pointing up slightly which isnt great for the handling.
The S3/Cupra hubs seem to be different to the TT hubs and they dont lower the ball joint.
