yeah jaz9mm has one in his and the only reason i even looked is because i saw his then looked at mine and i did't! are well its extra weight. LOL
No he aint got a brace on it yet.But i would say it is pretty pointless having it in as would't be able to get to it really.
yeah i will have to take the quarter panel off to do the nut up but will let you know when it turns up as only got e-mail sayin its left today...
you got an email thats more than any of us got
10 minute job to fit mate you need to take out the plastic trim with the speacker in above its 5 plastic nuts one is behind the seat back and presto its off and you need to chop a bit of the trim out which bit will be obvious when you have a look

Has anyone else installed a RAIDHP rear strut brace from a MK1 GTI that actually drills into the side of the strut housing (as opposed to sitting on top)?
I'm skeptical as to what aid these braces are providing when just attached to the top of the strut, imo it should be firmly drilled on (like you would the front) to provide the most effectiveness?

Not really no. If you think about it the struts aren't going to move if both tops are connected with a bar. By drilling into the side of the wheel arch is what your technically doing so the struts won't be held at all.
i got the brace today had a look at fittin it and the cig plug will be in the way so its going to have to go might need to cut it off ....
Any one getting any banging/ vibration after fitting the front lower brace at pulling away at very low revs?
