The SuperPro Front Lower Complete Alloy Control Arm Kit (ALOY0001K) provides a series of notable enhancements for VW MK5 and MK6 models.
This kit delivers several key upgrades:
- Alloy Control Arms: The control arms included in this kit are constructed from alloy, offering a lighter yet stronger alternative to the factory steel arms found on VW MK5 models, and superior strength compared to MK6 steel arms. This contributes to a reduction in unsprung weight and an increase in rigidity.
- Anti-Lift and Caster Geometry: The design incorporates anti-lift geometry and increased positive caster into the rear mount assembly. This modification aims to improve steering response and precision. It also provides dynamic camber gain during steering, optimizing the tire's contact patch for enhanced cornering grip.
- SuperPro Polyurethane Bushings: The kit features SuperPro's unique polyurethane compound in both the front and rear bushing assemblies. These bushings are designed to offer a significant upgrade over the softer, more compliant OEM bushings, minimizing deflection and movement. This results in more consistent tire performance, including improved traction, grip, and reduced wheel hop. The smaller inner bushings at the rear also incorporate a bonded steel shell to minimize friction during suspension travel, allowing the springs and dampers to function as intended.
