What is best for Neg Camber?

Nope, I installed the arms at the same time with the semi-slicks so the 11 seconds come from both but I can't be sure how much from each !

ah, thank you for the information. well at least we know what both can do for the car! though i would think if you are using the semi-slick, you have to use these arms because the semi is usually liking more negative camber because it has more grip and makes the car roll more. i think if you use semi slick on normal arm you are wearing out the outside  shoulder of tire?

The S3/Cupra hubs seem to be different to the TT hubs and they dont lower the ball joint.

I have noticed this also, it's not possible to fit the TT control arm correctly to the ball joint due to the design of the S3 hub.

jon-tfsi:
The ball joints on the TT arms sit on the underside of the arm, but on the S3 arms the ball joint sits on the top. (think GTI is the same)

Here is a couple of pics - TT arms at the top





If you uprade to TT arms without changing anything else, the arms will look like they are at a slightly different angle, but in reality the angle from bush to ball joint (pivot points) will remain the same. If the TT arms look horizontal or marginally pointing up it might look bad, but the chances are the balljoint is stlill lower than pivot point on the bush . . . . if you catch my drift

You wouldn't happen to have pictures of the TT hubs compared to the S3 ones would you??   :smiley:
