what kind of a road? Twisty mountaneous road? Straight highway with sweeping turns? City streets with numerous potholes, uneven asphalt, and cracks?

I seldom do those roads and those things. Therefore KW V2 will be enough for the starters.

If you "seldom do those things" then I don't understand why you are considering KW V2's.

I agree strut braces can be a great thing

The zip file contains a pic installed on a Mk5

My worry is the engine cover would be continually be knocking off it !
As well as that the fitting points (wing mounts) , are they structural enough to take that load?
mmmmmmmm

For the looks and for sharpness, less roll.

OH, NO!
My trip to Oettinger, which is usually a normal 140km highway drive, this time was totally different. My nav. system decided that we should avoid all kinds of highways and cover as many mountaneous roads as possible! I think I have covered half of mountains in Switzerland that day. Narrow, wet, steep mountaneous roads, with fog so heavy that one could not see ANYTHING further than 10 meters ahead. And no fences or railings along those roads. I some some gravestones on roadsides, someone was unlucky.
I was scared!
But that drive was fabulous!
My car needs a wash and better suspension. But ARBs, though tempting, are not the priority. KWs I do for sure.

So yes, I do venture on twisty roads, but I know I am not a great driver like many of you guys/girls, so I take it pretty easy.  :smiley:
