What's the benefits of changing to the SuperPro ball joints Rich?

Surely you're not going to do all those mods and then sell the car by next year lol!

They add negative camber to the front. Should give better mid corner grip.

Car is staying  :laugh:

Are these instead of or in combination with TT wishbones? Not sure but I seem to remember Mike saying he was having issues with the TT wishbones on his Cupra so put these on instead?? TT wishbones on mine meant I had to have the arches rolled after fitting the 996tt kit and running VZ

If it helps I went for the Cupra arms and Supapro ball joints..which I think is the combo Mike is now back with, when my car had some work done by Alex.
All helps the front camber but not by as much as the TT arms.

Oh and if you can spare the cash..a diff is brill Rich. Got the Peloquin HT in mine..superb mod.

I was convinced I read you were now finding them inadequate in certain situations and getting 4 pots on the 32 discs...
