Hi guys.
I need a quick feedback if possible from someone that has installed the VWR torque arm kit.

The car is going onto the ramp to get some new goodies installed and I was just informed that the VWR torque arm kit is not a perfect fit on the Alloy subframe used on all Audi MQB models.

I have the VW Golf 7 R MQB and is having a brand new front suspension installed with this. Alloy subframe from Audi and the VWR torque arm.

Did any on this forum had it installed?
I need a quick feedback please if possible...

Thanks guys.

Ok. Has been some busy hours here!
After measuring the Audi aluminum subframe the hole where the VWR pucks are inserted I have this to report back.

Frame = 68mm thick
VWR sandwiched together =76mm between collar

I machined the arm 4.1mm on each side (top and bottom)

This should now work.
This is not a plyg&play mod that will work for the majority of the users.
