I just dont think there is ANY point in these mods, its snake oil..... your money could be put elsewhere in the car where you will feel benefit.
....Rich, am I right in thinking that you say this without the experience of having tried a UNIbrace yourself?
It's ironic that you use the words: "where you will feel benefit" -
Feeling benefit is exactly what I and others have experienced after fitting UNIbraces. As written in this review thread, I consciously tested back-to-back on exactly the same 40-mile very varied route each of the XB and UB braces independently and in combination and I was able to
feel the differences.
Also, as written, I was very conscious of the possibility of any placebo effect but actual handling behaviour is physically tactile and not something restricted to being in the head.
You have only to look at the shapes of the XB and UB UNIbraces to see how their structures spread any stresses and that their anchorage points result in
additionally stiffening the open box form of the Golf body. This then allows the suspension to work more and handling is effected positively when either driving hard or the road configuration has an input.
I can only say that my own direct experience of the UNIbrace mods is as I have already described. I am not urging everyone to buy UNIbraces - I am only sharing my opinions and experiences for others to make up their own minds, as indeed you have done.
[I will do my best to respond in a separate post to the 'test' which you keep mentioning - Hopefully today but I am quite busy]
