This kit does more than replace rubber. Its offset design moves the pivot point of the lower control arm to add positive caster and change how the front end resists dive under braking, which improves straight-line stability and turn-in feel.
Installation is rated difficult, with about 4 hours of work listed. An alignment is required after installation. To go with it on the Golf/GTI, see Adjustable Rear Upper Control Arm Set, Adjustable Sway Bar Vehicle Link Kit, and Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit.
