Hi there!
To simply answer your question: I don't know, I never asked myself this question...
The TT camber is adjustable within some limits (between ~ 1.5' to ~ 2.5'). So, by using the TT arms your minimum camber is greater than the stock one, which is not adjustable (it only changes in if the toe or caster are changed) and is about 1 degree. This is because the TT arm is longer than the stock one. So, looking at the bigger picture, I would say, even if the ball joints fit, having adjustable camber between 0.5 to 1.5 degrees won't help.
Here is a picture of my TT vs stock arm side by side. By looking at the picture at the biggest resolution I found no conclusive answers. Maybe you will see something I didn't.
The thinks that you must take into consideration:
- Are the wholes the same?
- are there any issues if the TT ball joint sits above the arm (usually the TT ball joint sits below the arm but some colleagues have fitted it above and they had no problem yet, and hopefully for ever)?
Good luck!

TT ball joints won't fit the standard GTi wishbones.

Alex are you familiar with fitting the TT arms onto a Cupra with alloy hubs?

The cupra hubs are the same as the s3 hubs and the tt wishbones fit slightly differently on the ball joint.
So yes to the question :happy2:

Mike, it's a no brainer control arm has to go under ball joint as there's no room for it above ball joint due to your Cupra/S3 alloy hub :happy2:
