Yes, My car is Freetrack.

Ok, there's been a misunderstanding here so let me see if I can clarify.
The options offered were camber arms.
They all fit the Audi TT 8N 4WD which has the exact same setup as the Leon 1M 4WD. To that end, because we didn't get the 4WD version in the UK so the number of people able to answer the question are very small to zero, here's a link to a discussion from an Audi TT forum
Where on earth the €1200 for KW versions came from I don't know as the price I saw was just over £300 the set (not cheap but KW are on the same level as Bilstein).
You cannot tell quality from a picture on the internet, especially not one that doesn't zoom in on the welds.
I too don't mind spending money on suspension (KW V3s are not cheap), but I have SP top mounts ready to go on. Are they camber arms? No, but the quality is good for the price and most companies are consistent on their quality, so I'm speaking about the company.
My final point was that for the price, it's worth the risk (in my opinion). Worst case (apart from throwing them away) is getting someone to weld some strengthening tabs to make them better.
My reply:
The toe arms and camber arms for freetrack are the same as Golf 6, Audi A3 or Leon 1P (not 1M), regardless of 4WD or not. So anyone with Leon/Golf6/Audi A3 8P (which, I believe, constitutes majority of the market
) can answer. Therefore I am looking at a different product than you are suggesting, and I am not able to find anything in the KW, CBauto, Forge or Megan Racing. So basically it boils down to SP and hardrace And, of course a long list of high quality, but still US based brands (ETS, GODSPEED etc.), which I do not feel like importing into EU, because their price starts at 3x SP and the customs make it even more expensive..
As you say, I am especially interested in hearing about arms, because the adjustable front top mounts are just the item I found plenty of negative feedback on, that is what has me hesitating. On the other hand, I cannot imagine what could go wrong with a (simplified) threaded rod with welded PU silentblocks on both ends, apart from miserable welding.. so I consider it a rather safe buy..
Your final point I like, and that is mos likely what I will do. Try the SP and in the worst case scenario, either change the bushings for Powerflex or strenghten the construction.. If you are aware of any other brands I can contemplate (and I can buy inside EU), I will be glad to hear. Otherwise, thanks for your philosophical help and I guess I will be ordering SPs soon. Also, good luck and long live to your front top SP mounts
Cheers
