on a tight left hand bend tonight car definately felt more planted than it was previously.

i think, in terms of suspension mods the UNIbraces seem more worthwhile than TT wishbones and maybe even the WALK??

I can't comment on the TT wishbones mod other than to say that they do a completely different job than the UNIbraces do which stiffen the chassis.

Just to add that I drove over 280 miles yesterday with my daughter and the car up to the roof with her Uni belongings and the XB was extremely useful in restraining all her stuff such that I could drive as enthusiastically as normal when the conditions allowed. I just slung a blanket over the XB to protect its paintwork.

Still waiting for those shots of the under-brace, proving that it does pull the chassis straight...

It wont pull it straight, but it will help stop it flexing.

Not sure I'm getting what you're saying. Stopping flex is one thing, pulling it straight is another.

Here's a link to the Golf MK6 forum's groupbuy page with some pretty pictures for you.
