Measure the outer diameter of the control arm (part shown in Steve's photo). Here is the metric

size:

Again, per Steve's photo, the MK1's are MUCH smaller - it is an obvious difference.<ul><li><a href="http://public.fotki.com/mcphill/audi_stuff/brakes_and_suspension/defcon-control-arm-/ttarmsracedefconinstall/">DEFCON Installation</a></li></ul>
