yep I have the TT bushes(well have uppers but not lowers as on back order) and yep work out £22 each before VAT. These are the same for S3,TT,LCR.

Thats why TPS delivered me 2 sets of upper mounts instead and uppers and lowers then, lets see how long it takes for them to tell me they are on back order

Yep went to pick them up from TPS today and lowers missing. Checked on their site and no one else had them in stock in any dealer. Was told factory ordered part and May 1st ealiest. Also short of one rear subframe brace. Doh

Sorry not been on the site for a long time. I couldn't believe this thread was still alive. For anyone wishing to stiffen/strengthen chassis for improved handling, take a look at Ultra Racing products. Their stuff is available through ebay at a reasonable price and shipping. Follow the below link to have a look at the products available. Golf 4 for Octi Mk 1 and Golf 5 for Octi Mk 2.

Err is it me or is the pic of the front brace just photo shopped on as it doesn't line up with any mounting points? Looking at the 3 piece rear brace myself and thinking about asking one of my cousins how much their stuff is in Malaysia next time they go over.

I bought one of there or a very similar brace for my volvo as it used same front subframe as evo 4/5 and 6

It was a very good tight fit and welds seemed really good

So Mark, what was the outcome?

Not had chance to fit bits yet with this crud weather.

Front brace looks to hang quite low, could be interesting on speed humps...

Yep they do and i am not going that route as think I would be grounding out a lot and also.apart from costly and not probably fit for road use.

Hi I am in for that 100gbp price, as long as it excludes any additional custom duties, taxes etc.

Normaly on ebay it is 110gbp delivered but with the risk of additional costs.

Please let me know.
