    Real OEM lists the same part numbers for the GP control arm, so they would be the same with no difference....

    However the GP Trailing Arms show a different part number, but that is probably due to the fact that the GP has a different wheel hub that doesn't fit on the non-GP.... There could be other differences as well...

    So it probably won't bolt on to an R56.

    If the hub is different I'm inclined to say no it won't bolt onto a normal R56.

    They are the same control arms as the stock R56.

    I put a set of Hsport Rear Camber links on to take some of the neg camber out and get the alignment dead on.
