How to: Fit a strut brace the correct way golf mk4.

[Nino]

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

Enjoy.

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.
