    Who said anything about subframes?

    driven a few cars with them done though and liked how they felt, when compared to stock

          that would be a cast type you have there
          never set your expectations to high that way you are never disapointed

              Hello, so the best are the cast types for S2 Coupe ABY and RS2? What do you think about the complete front and rear Powerflex kit for the RS2? Is true that the RS2 can mount different diameter of anti roll bar if have the comfort pack or not? And S2 Coupe ABY? Thanks a lot!

                I've just recently bought a set of bushes for my Avant from Larkspeed. (Advertised on ebay)
                They were the cheapest I could find online.

                    cast type control arm for S2 Coupe

                    My front right control arm is bend (pavement lol) Just the one of the two but not badly though. Obviously now alignment is out. Tried to find replacement new or used but living here in Africa it is basically impossible. Even Audi SA cant be of assistance. Someone is prepared to heat it and make it straight then enforce it with steel into the H-shape. Do I take that chance or not?

                          No Des, the rear to front are offset by aprox 1or2 inch, I had a look at this when there was a few kicking about, it would be good to have the three holes at the back eh?? I think Arron (speedingG60) put four cast wishbones on his drag coupe but put them on opposite left to right and upside down, tho the rear wheels were not perfect in the arch

                          Obviously the typ85 & s2 front wishbones are different with 2&3 holes, can someone confirm the rear wishbones are different?
