Hey guys, I looked for a long time before fitting mine and I could not find a decent guide anywhere, when I say decent I mean a guide with step by step and detailed pictures ..... so I decided to make one so anyone that ever wants to fit one themselves they will hopefully use my guide :)
I hope you all like it, I welcome any comments/questions and if you wish to get the same strut brace as mine you can get it on ebay from a seller called "performance-motorsport-parts" or click HERE (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VOLKSWAGEN-GOLF-MK4-IV-1-4-1-6-1-9-T-97-20-ALUMINIUM-FRONT-UPPER-STRUT-BRACE-BAR-/350768883725?)
Enjoy. :)

Excellent guide - stickied :cool:

sweet! thanks Dom :)

Nice guide lots of info.
Some more info hope you don't mind. You can drill your holes out 1 or 2 mm bigger it'll give you a small bit of movement that might help in getting the brace sitting better. So say if your using M8 bolts drill a 9/10mm hole. Also you can get some Allan key bolts like the ones used in round the engine bay from a motor factors for a few pounds. Gives it that factory look if your using the S3 brace.
