I'd be interested to hear about existing owners with strut braces... how do these complement uprated ARBs... do these make a noticeable difference....

read somewhere that unlike the mk4 shell which was made of jelly and the strut brace made a big difference

they made the shell of the mk5 chassis nearly 200% stiffer negating the need for the upper strut brace.

....I've heard the same - The Mk5 is far more rigid and doesn't really need them.

If for whatever reason you do want one, as I'm not convinced they're needed myself, I know a UK agent for Sandtler (Like the German Demon Tweeks) who do Weichers stuff.

The website takes some translating, but pretty much everything you'd ever need is on there - shame the Euro is so poop now, as it was dirt cheap in the past.

I'm sorry to say that it's the £ that is poop atm, the danisk krone is the same compared to the euro but against the £ it's a lot stronger  :jumpmove:  :booty: (teasing)
