As above, mine are the right weight, the machining looks the same as the pics on Skunk2s website, the only difference is the 8 groove bushes.

Unhappy

yeah i would say the ones you guys got are genuine. The response from skunk was not very clear, i even sent them a picture from a genuine supplier which showed 8 grooved bushes but they ignored that!!

I dont think i will trust mine though, with all the extra work / extra performance i have put into the vag zs i am not leaving it down to a pair of £70 LCA's.

everything else i have got is genuine Hard Race and even managed to bag the last set of spares from SPC for the camber arms.

Never realized there was so much fake sh!t around and being sold on eBay who really dont give a crap!!

Im in the same boat as you as regards time and money spent, and i will be fitting mine... but i already have a couple of other Skunk2 items fitted. I like the fit and quality of their stuff and the cost even from a main dealer is fairly reasonable.

ok so these need a bit of tweaking to fit but what do you expect when they're for a different car.
