A front top one will make a small difference, a lower one will not help much due to the subframe.

I can reccommend OMP! I got OMP top strut braces front and rear on my MK3 and it handles like it on rails! The look pretty sweet to if you want the decoration too!

I got given them off a mate! I think they normally see between 30 - 40 notes!
