18mm was on the GTi-6s so that instantly makes it better by a magnitude of 6.
Hopefully someone will come along shortly with a real answer

as far as i thought, it made no odds?
only advantage i can see is the 18mm ones will be stronger, so therefore 'better', but if you're ever in the situation where you'd have benifitted from a stronger ball joint, id reckon that the rest of the car would be shagged anyway...
i have both on mine, cuz im thats how i roll.

Pug upgraded them on the 6 from 16mm to 18mm why i have no idea.
probly not worth the hastle of swaping them over for a extra 2mm

I think this needs to be sigged!

16mm = lighter!
Anyway, the 18mm's give a bit more strength for the lard arsed later models, and wear a bit slower.

GTi6s in Ph2 guise seem to have both 16 and 18mm though...

Yep. Later on they changed over to 18mm but most ph2's have 16mm. Usually the 2.5's that went over to 18mm.

Ph2 has 16mm
ph2.5 has 18mm
I can not see any benifit what so ever in swapin from 16 to 18. Iv had both on my 6's . Currently on 16mm and i see no difference.
