A few questions:

Is there anyone with a NA spec car running these swivels? I couldn't find it here. Also, are the CSS/TT bearings required to run these?

Will these push the front track out any further? (I'm already pretty tight to the fender)

My plan is to run these in addition to superpro LCA's to avoid camber plates.

I am running CSS swivels and TT bearing in combination with the SuperPro LCA.
You can read more about the setup on the suspension thread...

CS bushes fitted to front lower control arms (rear bush) and replaced the LCA front bushes at the same time with the factory bushes (these are the same as the CS anyway as VW chose to only uprate/change the rear bush. My car only has 25k on the clock so not a high amount, but after replacing the bushes and alignment I noticed:

Sharper initial turn in, and better direction change. The alignment and new bushes all contribute I know, but this seems better than when it was new. Increase in NVH is marginal, less than poly bushes on other cars I have had. Only expansion gaps, pot holes and cats eyes do you notice a slight increased "thud" into the cabin, but not a bad trade off, and again less than poly (normally).

Definitely worth it if you are intent on a refresh to the front suspension, Alignment values for a standard car seem spot on to me too afterwards.

Thanks, EB. I love that mild rear camber. ;)
However, did you consider to shift the subframe to even front camber?

Yeah it is on the mild side :) I guess less grip at the rear should be more fun, but its very small numbers so i doubt I will notice. The front was quiet out but didn't seem a lot different when they finished so didn't bother to ask for any further correction, as they spent a good deal of time ensuring the toe front and rear was dead in the middle and even side to side. Camber will be out the first few sec I throw it into a corner at Snetterton 300 ;)

The clubsport rotors are beautiful.. Any Golf R or GTI PP wanna comment on if the feel is same with cs rotors and/or pads?

Obviously the drilled is a mostly cosmetic mod, but i was wondering if there's any improvement in street use?

If anything, the aluminum hat will be lighter. Less unsprung/rotating mass is never a bad thing.

Has anyone successfully ordered the DSG steering wheel in the UK/EU? My dealer says all the part numbers come up labelled as leather and they’re on back order so if I order the wrong one I still have to pay for it...

Really want that alcantara...
