Rear Strut Brace

[ReDBull]

What is the metal coming of the nuts for?

It's a removable brace and I belive they are what you use to tighten it up.
Mine has arrived and I'll be picking it up tomorrow. Two guess what I'll be doing tomorrow night!

Well its stiffened the back up even more, too much compared to the front now :s. But main difference is theres no creaking from the back anymore

 

[ReDBull]

I hope so I'm still sceptical how well it will work.

I have one, got it about two years ago and love it! Never taken it out or adjusted it mid you. But think soon I'll be dispensing with it when I fit my roll cage, just extra weight then! Great bit of kit and superb quality!

 

[ReDBull]

Yes they're a great bit of kit very well made and easy to fit.

I want a half cage for my LCR.

Are these braces still avaliable?

Are these braces still avaliable?

I'm also interested in the strut brace. I may have to send an email to Mike from page 1 of this thread.

 

[ReDBull]

If you look on page one there is an email address. Email Mike and if you ask nicely and get at least five of you ordering one he may do another batch. Mike unfortunately no longer has his engineering shop due to the recession. But if you can get the numbers he'll do a batch. They are a great looking bit of kit and very easy to fit. However I'm still not convinced how well they stiffen the chassis up. May be it'll have more of an effect once I've fitted coilovers and a rear ARB?

I wouldn't mind one of these. If you need numbers put my name down.

Hi guys - I emailed Mike he said that they are now £105 all in. He also said that he has 3 in stock. I have ordered one / in the process of ordering one.

Please email him at: [email protected] let him know that CupraTim told you to email him to buy one.

 

[Leoncuprarfan]

I've emailed him just waiting for a reply

Mine arrived yesterday and fitted today

Car feels a bit more responsive in cornering but im yet to give it a full on test

I ordered one from Mike in early December and got it within 10 days.

I have found a big difference with the strut brace installed. The car turns much sharper, and the bodyroll is substantially reduced. I was unsure how much it would with this installed but it has exceeded my expectations. I have a couple of the front strut bars still to fit so I'm very glad I fitted this first to really appreciate the improvement it has made.

Rear Brace

Hey there guys... Been reading the whole thread and all pages... Alota guys have their opinions on whether it really does help. And I'm sure it stiffens and provides a benefit to the amount of roll esp in corners. I'd like to put my name down for one. Really interedted in this kit.
