Hi guys,

I seem to recall seeing some special instructions for installing the narrowed front suspension for the pin drive wheels, but I can't find any info in the Mk4 instructions nor on the forum. Does this info come with the pin drive front suspension kit, or does anyone know where I'd locate it? I thought I read somewhere that the upper arms mount in a different way versus the regular front suspension. I'm just trying to collect my info before I need it, since the kit will be here soon.

Thanks!

Rob

Update - I did find an addendum for 289 car that goes with the Mk4 instructions. It doesn't talk about the narrowed front suspension but does touch on other 289-specific items. Here's the link in case anyone is interested:
