S3 alloy hubs and wishbones on MK5 GTI, worth it?

As above, will they fit and do they have a wider track? Thanks.

Hi !
They fit ! :happy2:
Just did a quick search on ETKA,
The part nr listed for a 2011 S3 are the exact same as the ones for a 2008.
I have ones from a 2008 with the same part nr's , mounted no problems ;)
Part nr's :
1K0 407 152 AK ==> now became 1K0 407 152 BF (righthand side)
1K0 407 151 AK ==> now became 1K0 407 151 BF (lefthand side)

Also, don't think the S3 ones increase the track width.
Think they are identical to the cast steel ones !
I have had some Audi TT one's. They do increase the track width but I couldn't get the camber correct !
But there are already some posts about this , somewhere here ;)

Yes they fit and No they don't increase the track.
May I also recommend doing the alloy hub carriers aswell,(Passat is the same part number as S3 only can be had for about £40 pair on ebay) makes a massive improvement to the steering response (shorter arm and lighter), I don't know the exact weight saving but lifting the box of new bits out of the car was a lot easier than putting the old back in :happy2: I would guess at 4KG ish.

I had forgotten about this mod since it was really stretching my budget a bit too far, but I've saved a bunch on insurance and feeling a bit flush ATM
