So long as it’s mounted correctly and not rubbing on anything a rear strut brace should improve NVH and certainly help reduce cabin rattles.
After driving the M135i I could feel how much better the chassis was braced than my Clubsport when I jumped back in it.
As for the MPG’s on the previous page, how do you guys and ladies get such good fuel consumption. I drive like a granny much of the time and never see 40 as an average, and that’s living in the sticks driving at low traffic density times.
Oh, and never mind back to front Parkers, it’s the base model Golf that whizzes into view in the AID display that irks me. I’ve nowt against base model Golfs aside from the fact the 7.5 looks a bit ugly unless it’s an R-Line. The normal mk7 Golfs (pre facelift) looked nicer to me. But that’s not the point! I’m sure it wouldn’t have taken more than a few minutes to add a rendering of a GTI on the AID being as there are huge GTI logos on the headunit display when it boots up.
Moan over, carry on...
