My Offside front strut was weeping and was told when I went for an alignment a few months back that the rear camber bolts are seized. Car handles fine but is starting to feel a little tired so rather than just address these areas I`ve decided to replace everything.
Have owned my GTI for 8 years, 2007, DSG with 67k on the clock.
I went with Sachs, Lemforder and Febi but have included the VW part numbers where I had them available.
*** I bought everything from Autodoc. Their pricing varies wildly depending on the day of the week so don't get caught out when they advertise a sale. I found their prices in general to be cheapest on Mondays ***

I did not replace the Rear Lower Control arm outer bushes as they looked fine. Will replace if I do the hubs in the future.
Just need to decide now if I tackle this job myself or pass it over to the experts.
