Default Control arm question

It's been a long time since I've logged in, or owned a TT for that matter, but I was cleaning out my garage and realized I still had some old parts lying around that I may as well sell. The problem is I can't recall any details about one of them so I'm hoping someone here may be able to tell me what I have.

They're definitely adjustable control arms. Googling around brought me to Forge, which jogged some old memories and I was pretty sure that's what they are. The problem is that they have an audi parts sticker on them and the part number there (1j0 505 323 E) matches a stock control arm, which I didn't think was adjustable and certainly doesn't look adjustable in some online microfiche I found. And they don't look like any pics of Forge arms I can find.

Can anyone tell me what I have here?

Thanks
Pascatt

That's quite a find. There were no adjustable arms as far as I know, maybe one of the aftermarket companies cut up some old arms to make those.

Most of the long time posters are over at that "other" site.You might ask there. How much do you want for them?

Default Imagine this is what you found

But now most buy something like this. Stronger, cheaper.

They do look similar to the ones we have here, less an ECS Tuning etching, and a few other differences. Look very similar to ours, though.
