TT or S3 fron suspension arms
vRSAlex:
If you look closely at the pic you will see the angle of the rear part of the GTi and s3 arms is the same, but the TT arm has a greater angle. Is the measurement from the ball joint to the back of the arm that is important in this case.
This is also the reason the caster angle changes much morewith the TT arms than the other arms.
As the TT arm is much further forward than the other arms the rod end needs extending to get the toe in line and this increases the track width at the bottom of the wheel and thus creates more camber.

How much extra caster would you say the TT arms add Alex? :popcornsoda:

Around 1 deg. With a walk kit its 2 degs.
jon-tfsi:
If i remember rightly a std GTI has approx 7.5 Degs. What would you say the optimum amount would be for a MK5?
I thought the WALK added 0.5 degs ?
