Special K 81 0 Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Have a large list of stuff mounting up , no parts are excessively expensive tbh but with everythng on top of each other its adding up. I need wishbones/control arms call them what you like, gsf have priced these at 32.50 each....not a bad price...but thats with out ball joints at 18.60 for 2. All in £83.60.With all the other bits like i said adding up, so looking for even more savings here and there. These any good?? anyone used them http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VOLKSWAGEN-VW-GOLF-MK3-GTI-VR6-FRONT-2-WISHBONE-ARMS-/270488096289?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3efa58ce21 Link to post Share on other sites

CALICO 130 Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 i bought a set and they turned out to be for an early model so it cost me even more because i had to send them back to get the correct ones not from the same place but savings are only made if everything goes to plan i didnt know there were 2 different ones and the seller didnt ask a lesson to be learnt try TIEROD69 ive never had problems with there parts and they know there stuff Link to post Share on other sites
