TT arms and ball joints give negative camber, but they also give an extra 10mm track which can cause problems with rubbing if you have aftermarket wheels or running low

That's why I suggested getting the Superpro, you get the weight saving of the alloy arms and the negative camber from the ball joints and save the hassle of rubbing  :wink:

I've run the TT arms previously and have moved to the set up above for the reasons stated

HTH.  :drinking:

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but....I'm guessing all of you are playing with all these suspension components but don't have upgraded brakes?? I have 6 pot AP calipers and 356x32mm 2 piece AP discs. I purchased the superpro adjustable ball joints, went to fit them and they hit the back of my brake disc. Would fitting TT arms give me the -2.0 degrees of camber i am looking to achieve?

Depending on the hubs you have, then yes. Actually the TT hubs will allow for the lowest amount of negative camber, on S3/Passat alloy hubs the TT arms has to be fitted opposite of how they are intended to be fitted with the TT hubs, which will allow for quite a large amount of negative camber. I have made a tread on here where the different options are explained

TT ball joints with probably foul the discs too. Better off with adjustable top mounts.
