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've had a quick look on the net, but how much did you pay for yours (if you don't mind telling)  :smiley:
Wouldn't be fun if it was easy, but does it have to be this much fun?

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