Title: strut brace
Post by: X01X on 20 April 2014, 14:12
As title. Looking for some decent front and rear atrut braces. Can find good ones for the rear but can't find an adjustable brace for the front, anyone know where I could get one?

what do you mean by decent? never really found them to do anything to be honest

solid top mounts with decent coilovers is a better investment IMO

Stuff that. Cars already lowered enougn and if I put in solid top mounts, it would die.  I want strut braces to help reduce roll

Get Eibach anti roll bars.

^^ Exactly.

I'm sure strut braces reduce the chassis from twisting. If you want to reduce body roll then anti roll bars is what you want.

+1 for Eibach ARB's, I track my V6 4 motion and this has been the best mod for reducing roll, I have a strut brace to fit but haven't got around to it yet, I also have a lower brace, both off an S3.

 I fitted these to my Golf http://www.larkspeed.com/index.pl?a=i&p=2E40850010111 (http://www.larkspeed.com/index.pl?a=i&p=2E40850010111)
