I've bought the Clubsport S front knuckles for my '16 R (hoping to achieve an extra 1* neg camber without any noise). Adding more grip to the front is always a good idea. I just haven't installed them yet.
Both front knuckles were $407us from e-acca.

Welcome to the forum.
Yes, so say your car has -1* camber as it sits, after install it will have -2* camber, all factory, all quiet. If you want more then you can add other parts, just like you would with the stock parts...you're just starting from more negative camber already.Is an extra degree what they're supposed to give you? I'm thinking about doing that rather than fixed camber plates.

Welcome to the forum.
Of course they will fit, the issue may be strut size. I have a 55mm outer diameter strut (w/DCC)...not sure what your GTI is; 50mm or 55mm.
The Clubsport S knuckles are designed for the 55mm diameter struts. If you have that, then you're good to go...and it's definitely worth it!
Any noticeable difference in driving or braking dynamics?Here is a link to my post about the CSS knuckles.

Not when just driving straight, I did notice more grip and better cornering immediately, the front tires are better planted. Was it significant? No, but I noticed it right away. On the race track I also noticed no sidewall roll over, there are many factors that contribute to that but I was pleasantly surprised I wasn't chewing up my new PS4S tires while on a track with many right and lefts hand off camber turns. Braking was same as stock, straight and true with no unsettled reactions at all.Any noticeable difference in driving or braking dynamics?
