The superpro ones will have adjustable ball joints.
They will be properly designed for the car whereas the tt arms are a bit of a compromise. They have improved handling but due to the geometry of them and extra width have given me clearance headaches

Ant reviews backing this up Mike?
They are designed for the TT as well :smiley:

looking at the photos Mike, it doesn't look like the ball joints will be adjustable. can this be run with a WALK, or is it meant to be as an alternative to a WALK?
Tfsi_Mike:
Hmmm,
I already have improved roll centre with the tt arms, just think they don't work quite right on the Leon due to the wheel sitting further forward In the arch causing contact. :sad1:
Jimbo_h:
Mike did get much rubbing before changing the arms? and do you get much rubbing in normal spirited road driving or just on the track? The reason I ask is that I get quite a bit of rubbing going around the bends at the front of the arch on the track with std arms, but hardly anything on the road. Just thought that it might not be the arms??? Either way if you find a solution let me know 'cos I'm finding it a right PITA as well!!

On std arms I was lower and even under spirited driving had no contact.
With the arms and raised on contact on corners on track was constant.
Improved since Alex had a fettle but on corners and even dips/ compressions in the road and spirited driving.
At my wits end!
There's a good chance the ground control top mounts will help stop it as they don't sag as much as oem ones.
Hope you get sorted mate too, I'll to remember to update you

@ jimbo
Forgot to add I think it's more of a problem on the Leon than the golf due to the Leon's arches
