strut barces reinforce the suspention points, by transfering load to the other side,  arb's  are part of the supention and help reduce body roll.

lower strut braces go between the frount wishbonne mounts on mk2, upper braces go between strut tops,  rear braces go between rear strut tops
all the VW's have gone bar 1.
