I need some too, but I heard bad things about them. I think there are one people on here that had bad experiences.
But I wouldn't mind knowing the final price

Not sure where else you could get them though?

What set are you looking at? I could get a rough cost guide but as i said he would like to know numbers first. Hence this thread.

Also to admins i'm not sure if i need approval for an EOI thread or the actual part of it. If its for the EOI, Feel free to take this down and ill talk to one of you. If its ok, I'll definitely ask before the actual buy.

Yeah! I haven't had one issue. Except a squeak (pretty loud) when the joints get dry. Just get a grease geun with a flexi hose. done. the threads are great and haven't siezed, they look good too.
I know tomtom is keen on a set too, so that another member interested

Also check with Driven Threads (formerly pauld). I know he has them on his MkIV R32.

[balkanac]

how about these?

Awesome - KW Adjustable Rear Control Arms TT Quattro/S3/4mo

[Manaz]

Having been told what happened to Dyldo's Gruven Arms, I'd be interested in a set of the KWs...

[kaanage]

What exactly happened??

[Driven Threads]

I use the gruven arms as upper and lower control arms. They are a quality part.

No issues whatsoever.

What about the Forge ones ?. Here they are pritty good. Think AL used to have them in the old Blue Tarmac machine.

[dainese]

could it be 2 isolated cases where dyldo and manaz are experiencing issues?

I seriously haven't had an issue. I noticed that they now have a dust boot (probably a good idea too..)
and noticed now you can have a poly bush as an option (cool!)
