Paul_13 212 1 Cars Posted May 24, 2010 Motaquip don't supply them any more I've tried. Lemforder is a good alternative Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

swordfish210 20 Posted May 24, 2010 Any idea where you can get them from? Most motorfactors will supply Lemforder parts, Euro Car Parts most notibly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CharlieBoy 0 Posted May 25, 2010 If ordering them from ECP, be sure to ask for the Lemforder arms (assuming they are as good as the Motaquip items), otherwise they will try and fob you off with their cheaper items as being the same but cheaper... It might be worth trying Miles for them on the offchance he has some Motaquip items. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It might be worth trying Miles for them on the offchance he has some Motaquip items. The Lemforder on line catalogue doesn't list 309 GTI arms. I will try Miles. I'm after some negative camber and the class rules don't allow adjustable bottom arms. The only other option I can use would be some adjustable top mounts and the only ones I'm willing to try would be the BBM ones with the same spherical bearing as the GPA PTS top mounts. But Stu isn't answering e-mails.... If I buy FAI arms can I press out the crap bushes with the bolt/tube/washer method as per the Haynes manual? Having said that do the cheap arms also have rubbish ball joints? Any help would be appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SurGie 54 Posted May 26, 2010 Yes the cheaper arms have weaker ball joints and Lem ones are the better ones to get. I cant wait till good arms for the 309 are here, there seems to be a good demand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I cant wait till good arms for the 309 are here, there seems to be a good demand. The only ones I can find on line are Firstline, Quinton Hazell and FAI. Definitely no Lemforder. I'm only going to be doing 2k miles a year on them and about 10 hillclimbs and sprints so I'm not bothered if they can stand up to a winter and they don't have to last too long, but i'm not to keen if the ball joints might fail......

205Rallee 59 Posted May 27, 2010 Oh well can't find any decent 309gti wishbones. Does anyone know if BBM are still in business? Has anyone had a set of the adjustable top mounts, if so any idea on cost? All I want is a wee bit of negative camber but it would be easier to find the Holy grail!

swordfish210 20 Posted May 27, 2010 BBM are still going strong. I can't remember who it was on here who was saying they had some of his topmounts but stew did send me some pics of them some time ago and they looked very good quality (like the rest of his stuff) and i would have had a set if i could afford them.
