We have been in business for 12 years, focusing on performance products and upgrades for VW/Audi/Porsche/Mini/BMW.

We are pleased to offer a group buy on our TyrolSport DeadSet Rigid Sub-frame Collar kit to Audizine forum members. This kit is a must for those who seek maximum performance from their stock suspension, and is a proven remedy to the common sub-frame clunk found on many 2005+ Volkswagen/Audi models related to the MKV platform. The DeadSet Sub-frame Collar kit will locate your sub-frame on-center as well as provide superior fastening with the provided hardware from ARP.

Some testemonials from the Golfmkv forums:

"Just installed mine today after work. I'm a tech, and with a lift the kit took about 45 minutes to install. The fit was great, and I definitely noticed a difference in the front end. The steering seemed tighter, more precise. Can't wait for Waterfest this weekend so I can really put this kit through the paces in the auto-cross."

"First Impressions, pop/clunk while hard turning is gone. Shift's feel smoother, possibly from less slop in the subframe. Maybe, a little better grip under acceleration too. Turning feels a little crisper. It's really amazing how many critical parts the subframe touches when you get under there.
Bottom Line: These are sweet! Thank you TyrolSport!"

i feel stupid cause I just bought this and got it in like a week ago and now theres a group buy ! ... FML !

installing them tomorrow, hoping I will be so happy with them that I dont care about the extra $65 or so I spent on them ... !

[kristokes]

Too bad these aren't compatible for any of my cars because I would've definitely jumped in on this GB!

I have the TyrolSport Solid Shifter Bracket Bushing and TyrolSport Brake Caliper Stiffening kit for my MK1 TT and love them both! It was a difference that I truly felt.

Wow, you guys are awesome.

Well guys just to show how AMAZING TyrolSport is they just offered to refund me the difference if the GB comes through.

:D ... awesome, I am going to be writing a review on these in this coming week but just to let you guys know I did take the car to Toronto Motorsport Park and the car handled no joke Significantly better and you honestly do notice a huge difference.

My car has F&R Whiteline sway bars and all the whiteline bushings and Bilstein PSS10 and the car handled great, had a clunk decided to get these as a perma-Fix and I can honestly tell you with all the parts I have these still made a huge difference and improvement.

GET THEM and wait for my full review and pics of install, o yeah and install is a peanut, its very easy to do took me 45 mins.

Tyrol should post this GB in A3 forum too.

Thought we would post up a little more info regarding the DeadSet and its benefits.

The VW/Audi Mk5/Mk6 chassis has had an issue since early on with clunking noises associated with loose and shifting front subframes. VWAG issued a Technical Service Bulletin and provided a hardware repair to rectify the issue. To the dismay of many enthusiasts, the repair was not able to definitively rectify the subframe movement. Enthusiasts who drove their cars to the limit in various environments reported subframe movement and noise over rough terrain or in track/AutoX environments.

TyrolSport sought to solve this issue by developing and testing a hardware solution for the most demanding of enthusiasts. After years of testing on the street and track, we are now ready to release our DeadSet Collar kit for Audi/VW Mk5/Mk6 chassis vehicles including:

Golf/GTI
Jetta
A3
TT/TTS/TTRS
Passat
Skoda mk5/mk6
Seat mk5/mk6

If you have clunking in your front end over bumps that has not been resolved through traditional parts replacement(upper strut bushings, bearings, tie rods, ball joints), the DeadSet Collar kit could be the soilution. One of the ways you can tell if your subframe is shifting is by looking at the bolt heads and seeing if there is any indication of movement. In this picture you can see some chafing and polished area where the subframe has moved:





Once the bolt is removed you can also see that it was off center, by looking at the shadow created by the head of the bolt:






One of the reasons the subframe shifts is because the mounting bore of the subframe is much larger than the actual bolt which holds it in place. Here we can see the large clearance between the subframe mounting boss and the fastener.





In order to eliminate the possibility of the subframe shifting, we need to reduce the bore size(s) of the subframe. We can do this by installing locating collars which center the bolt in place, and lock the subframe to the chassis of the vehicle.








TyrolSport supplies an ARP fastener that was specidically developed for this application. It maintains the factory shear in an accident, yet increases tensile strength dramatically. Here we see that it is located on center with the DeadSet collars.








The subframe back in place with the DeadSet installed and bolts waiting to be tightened:



The complete TyrolSport DeadSet Collar Kit includes 12 collars, two ARP bolts(choice of Hot Black Oxide or Stainless Steel) and anti-seize compound.
