SuperPro Volkswagen Golf MK5 & MK 6 Supaloy front control arms now TuV approved and cheaper!

SuperPro Supaloy range – the replacement lightweight alloy arms for the MK5 & 6 Golf and its ‘sister cars’ on the same platform– have been big sellers for a year or two now, but recent developments for this range make them newsworthy once again – and a great tuning boon to owners looking to sharpen the ride and handling of their 2004-on VW Group car.

Firstly, there’s the full TuV accreditation – This kit, ALOY0001K, has been successfully submitted for evaluation for TuV and has passed with flying colours. Of critical importance in many European markets, TuV certification will ensure that a car with modified components fitted will pass the annual TuV test, a clear demonstration of the quality of SuperPro components.

Better still, despite this new, legislation friendly appeal, the parts are cheaper than before! SuperPro has looked hard at the pricing of this part number and has been able to take advantage of increasing sales volumes to reduce the retail price of a pair of arms from £369.00 + VAT to £319.00 + VAT – effective from 1st December 2014. This reduction also applies to the arms when purchased as a kit including the roll centre correcting ball joint – part number KIT5001K which has come down from £499.00 + VAT to £449.00 + VAT! Quite some saving over the whole kit.

These arms now offer a superb modification with even better value for money:
44% reduction in unsprung weight when compared with OEM Cast Steel Arms
Fitted with pre-set eccentric rear SuperPro polyurethane bushes for caster increase/ anti-lift geometry.
Increased control of the arm’s location to offer consistent steering geometry.
Front polyurethane bush for positive driver feedback.
Free Pivoting action to reduce NVH and allow optimum tuning of spring & damper settings.
Put simply, there aren’t many mods for these platforms that will make such a huge difference to how the car feels and behaves.
Of course, ALOY0001K does not just fit the MK5 & 6 Golf , it will also fit the following VAG models:

Audi A3 (Typ8P 2WD & Quattro – 2003-12), Seat Altea Compact (5P 2003 on), Seat Toledo (5P 2004 on), Seat Leon (1P, 2005 on), Skoda Octavia (1Z 2004 on), VW Eos (1F7, 1F8, 2006 on), VW Caddy (MK3 2004 on), VW Jetta (Typ1K2 2005-10), VW Scirocco (Typ137 2006 on), Touran (1T1 2003-06).
