Hi all,

I have been looking at changing my subframe for the aluminium S3 variant and upgrading to either TT or Passat Wishbones. Has anybody else done this and if so any pointers please.

Thanks in advance

Interested too if it's possible and if anyone has done this, I was a bit disappointed to find our 2017 Octavia has a steel front subframe when the old 2009 one we had was alloy.....seems like a backward step but presumably a cheaper component?

I have looked about and apparently the S3 subframe fits as do the Passat wishbones but don't want to order it all unless I am sure it works such like the lighter hubs etc any advice welcomed if you have done the swap or not if it doesn't work

It does all fit - the alu subframe is standard on the A3 and S3. I'm not sure what you've already done, but it would make sense to get some droplinks and do the ARB and such while you've got it all apart.

You don't need alu arms, but something like the standard caster SuperPro LCAs are a nice upgrade for longevity with the polybushes. If you want to splash out, SuperPro, RL, 034 and others all make alu arms with nice bushings. I know the TT arms are alu, but not sure about the Passat. Either way, there are better options than OE - @travs went for... Delphi?
