Strut Brace

[Phil.O]

are they worth the money?

how much can you get a decent one for?

and.....

where is the best place to get one?


been thinking about getting one for ages and going round a tightish corner today at 50 made me think of them again,

any advice would be great,


cheers

Get the S3 upper & lower ones from Audi - Make a fair bit of a tangible difference, IMO.

Be about £75-£80 for the pair, IIRC.

sounds good to me,

how easy are the A3 ones to fit?

get them direct from Audi?

where does the lower one go?

cool, thanks for that,

have you still got all the part numbers?

or is it just gonna be easier to wonder into Audi and ask for the parts?

The p/no's for the lower one are on page 3 of that link I gave you.  I'll have to have a dig around for the upper ones.

if you don't mind finding them that'd be good,

are there different 1s for different models/years like mk4/mk5 golf or are they standard braces?

My strut brace - £30 off ebay, makes a good bit of difference

do you not need any bolts for the upper strut brace?
